Job Description
English Lecturer
Temporary | Contract
Location: London
Start date: September 2026
Are you an experienced English teaching professional who wants to help post-16 learners gain the qualifications they need to move forward?
About the Role
As an English Lecturer with a further education provider, you'll plan and deliver engaging English lessons to learners across a range of study programmes, many of whom are working towards a Grade 4 or building the literacy skills they need for work and further study.
You'll adapt your teaching to a wide range of abilities and backgrounds, tracking progress, giving clear and constructive feedback, and helping learners build the confidence to succeed.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Planning and delivering engaging English lessons to learners of mixed abilities.
- Preparing schemes of work, lesson plans and assessment materials.
- Assessing learner work and giving feedback that helps students improve.
- Monitoring learner progress and keeping accurate records.
- Supporting learners with gaps in knowledge, building confidence and motivation.
- Creating a safe, inclusive classroom where learners are supported and challenged.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- A degree or Level 3 qualification in English or a related subject
- Experience teaching English, ideally to post-16 learners
- Strong classroom management and learner engagement skills
- The ability to adapt your teaching to varied learning needs
Desirable (but not essential):
- A recognised teaching qualification such as PGCE, Cert Ed, DET or QTLS
- Experience teaching within further education
- Experience supporting resit learners
If you're ready to help learners achieve an essential qualification, we'd love to hear from you.
