GCSE English Lecturer

Temporary

About the Role

A further education provider in the North West is looking for a GCSE English Lecturer to plan, deliver and assess GCSE English. You'll teach learners resitting the qualification alongside their main study programme, supporting them to build confidence and achieve the grade they need to progress.

You'll track progress, mark work and give clear feedback, preparing students thoroughly for their external examinations.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging GCSE English lessons to learners of mixed abilities.
  • Preparing schemes of work, resources and assessment activities.
  • Assessing learner work, tracking progress and giving clear, constructive feedback.
  • Supporting learners with gaps in knowledge and building their motivation.
  • Preparing students for external examinations in line with awarding body requirements.
  • Maintaining accurate records of learner performance and contributing to quality procedures.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Degree or equivalent qualification in English or a closely related subject
  • Recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Strong understanding of the GCSE specification and effective resit strategies
  • Excellent classroom management and communication skills

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience teaching GCSE English in further education or secondary education
  • Experience of embedding English within vocational programmes

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.
