  • Contributing to curriculum development so that content remains relevant and inspiring.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A Level 3 qualification (or higher) in English or a related subject
  • Experience of teaching English in further education or secondary education
  • Strong classroom management and excellent communication skills
  • The ability to motivate and support learners of mixed abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification such as PGCE, Cert Ed, DET or equivalent
  • A degree in a relevant subject area

If you're ready to help learners achieve their English qualifications and move on to their next step, we'd love to hear from you.
