Job Description

Part-Time GCSE English Lecturer

Part Time | Temporary

Location: the North West

Start date: September 2026

Are you an experienced English teacher who enjoys helping learners get the grade that opens doors for them?

About the Role

A further education provider in the North West is looking for a Part-Time GCSE English Lecturer to deliver high-quality teaching to learners resitting GCSE English as part of their study programme.

You'll work with learners of mixed ability, many of whom have not yet succeeded in the subject, supporting them towards a Grade 4 and building the literacy and confidence they need for work, life and further study.

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 giving timely feedback.
  • Supporting learners with gaps in their knowledge, building confidence and motivation.
  • Working with the wider curriculum team to keep delivery consistent.
  • 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 recognised UK teaching qualification — QTS, QTLS, PGCE, CertEd, DTLLS, DET or Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training, or equivalent
  • Strong understanding of the GCSE specification and effective resit strategies
  • Ability to differentiate and adapt your teaching to varied learning needs
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills, and the ability to inspire learners

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A degree in English or a closely related subject

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