Teacher Of English

Alleyn’s are seeking to appoint a full-time Teacher of English from Thursday 29 August 2024.

We have our own competitive salary scale and accommodation may be available.

This post could suit either an experienced teacher, someone early in their career (e.g. an ECT) or possibly an aspiring teacher wanting to enter the profession (we have a full training and induction programme in place).

Above all, we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and well-qualified, with a real love for English and an ability to convey this to pupils, as well as a natural empathy and pastoral instinct. The ability to motivate and inspire (both students and teachers) is vital, as is being able to work as part of a strong team.

The ideal candidate will be a committed and dynamic person who will:

• contribute to the high-quality teaching and assessment of English across ability ranges, up to and including A level;
• work closely with the department to develop English as a subject within the school;
• contribute to the department’s co-curricular activities and participate in the wider school programme of co-curricular activities.
• the ability and/or interest in teaching an additional subject at KS3 would also be of interest.
