Job Description

English Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Location: the North East

Start date: 3 November 2026

About the Role

You'll join a housing provider delivering education to learners working towards the qualifications and skills they need to move forward. Teaching English, you'll plan and lead inclusive sessions that meet learners where they are, whatever their prior experience of education.

Alongside delivery, you'll assess progress, keep learner records up to date and work with colleagues across the organisation to make sure every learner is supported.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering English sessions to learners at a range of levels.
  • Assessing learners' starting points and tracking their progress towards their qualifications.
  • Preparing learners for formal assessment and supporting them through it.
  • Maintaining accurate course administration, including registers and assessment records.
  • Working with colleagues to provide the academic and pastoral support learners need to achieve.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A relevant subject qualification in English
  • Experience of teaching or training learners with a range of starting points
  • The ability to adapt your approach to learners with mixed abilities and varied prior experiences of education

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification such as QTS, QTLS, PGCE, Cert Ed or DET
  • Experience of delivering in a non-traditional learning environment

If you're ready to help learners gain the English qualifications that open doors for them, we'd love to hear from you.
