About the Role
You'll join the English team at a further education provider, delivering English to post-16 learners working towards their qualifications alongside their wider study programmes.

- Preparing learners for formal examinations and assessments.

- Maintaining accurate records of attendance, achievement and outcomes.
- Working collaboratively with the English team and wider curriculum colleagues.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Subject knowledge in English to degree level or equivalent
- Experience teaching English to post-16 or secondary learners
- Ability to differentiate and adapt teaching to a range of learning needs
- Strong classroom management and learner engagement skills
Desirable (but not essential):
- A recognised teaching qualification such as PGCE, CertEd, DET or QTLS
- Experience teaching within further education
- Experience supporting resit learners
If you're ready to help learners achieve the English qualification that opens up their next step, we'd love to hear from you.
