GCSE English Lecturer

Temporary

Location: Yorkshire and the Humber

Start date: November 2026

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in Yorkshire and the Humber, delivering GCSE English to learners resitting the qualification as part of their study programme. You'll support them to work towards a Grade 4 and to build the literacy and communication skills they'll rely on in work, life and further study.

You'll teach groups of mixed ability, adapting your approach so that learners who have not previously succeeded in English can make progress and rebuild their confidence.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering engaging and accessible GCSE English lessons to learners of mixed abilities.
• Planning and preparing schemes of work, lesson resources and assessments.
• Tracking learner progress, marking work and providing timely feedback.
• Supporting learners with gaps in knowledge, building confidence and motivation.
• Working collaboratively with the English team and wider curriculum staff.
• Maintaining high standards of classroom management and a positive learning environment.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Experience teaching GCSE English within further education or secondary education
• A strong understanding of the GCSE specification and effective resit strategies
• The ability to differentiate and adapt your teaching to varied learning needs
• Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to inspire learners

Desirable (but not essential):

• A recognised teaching qualification such as QTS, QTLS, PGCE, Cert Ed, DET or a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training
• A degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject area

If you're ready to help learners achieve the English grade that opens the next door for them, we'd love to hear from you.
