English Teacher – Leeds
Start Date: AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Let’s be honest… a great English teacher can change everything.
The quiet student who suddenly finds their voice.
The reluctant reader who can’t put a book down.
The class that starts to feel poetry, not just analyse it.
If that sounds like your kind of classroom, keep reading.
-----------------------------------
✏️ What’s the role all about?
We’re working with a welcoming secondary school in Leeds that’s ready for a brilliant English teacher to step in and make an impact straight away.
This isn’t a “figure it out as you go” kind of place. You’ll be joining a supportive department, solid behaviour across the school, and leadership that actually listens. The kind of environment where you can focus on teaching, not firefighting.
You’ll be:
* Teaching English across KS3 and KS4
* Bringing texts to life, from Shakespeare to spoken word
* Building strong relationships with pupils who’ll remember you for years
* Working alongside a team that shares ideas, resources, and the odd staffroom biscuit
-----------------------------------
Why you’ll love this school
* Supportive SLT who’ve got your back, not your clipboard
* Engaged pupils who want to learn, yes, really
* Well-planned schemes of work to save your evenings
* A team vibe that feels more “we’re in this together” than “every teacher for themselves”
Whether you’re an ECT finding your feet or an experienced teacher ready for a fresh start, this role gives you space to do what you do best.
-----------------------------------
What we’re looking for
* UK QTS or equivalent
* A confident, engaging classroom presence
* A love for English that actually shows in your teaching
* Someone who can walk in, build rapport, and get stuck in
-----------------------------------
What you’ll get with us
* Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella faff
* FREE access to our CPD Academy
* A dedicated consultant who listens and gets it
* Opportunities across mainstream, SEND, and alternative settings
* Simple, speedy registration
* Referral scheme, bring a friend, earn a little bonus
-----------------------------------
