About the Role
This is not a “stand at the front and deliver” role. As an English Teacher with middle leadership responsibility, at Dibden Park School, you’ll be working with students who need creativity, patience, and flexibility to thrive. Every day is different — one moment you might be unlocking a student’s confidence through reading or discussion, the next you’ll be adapting learning to meet emotional, behavioural, or communication needs.
You’ll deliver high-quality English teaching while helping students develop independence, resilience, and self-belief. Working as part of a close-knit, multi-professional team, you’ll help create a learning environment where students feel safe, understood, and motivated to succeed.

* Designing and delivering engaging, flexible English lessons for individuals and small groups
* Adapting teaching approaches to meet individual learning, behavioural, and emotional needs
* Tracking progress and celebrating achievements, both big and small
* Helping shape learning environments that are structured, stimulating, and supportive
* Working alongside Learning Support Assistants and care staff to ensure learning is consistent and meaningful
* Contributing ideas and energy to the wider life of the school and its ongoing development
* Supporting students to develop self-regulation and confidence, particularly when behaviour is challenging
* Ensuring students are safe and supported during both on-site learning and off-site activities

* Able to work collaboratively within a multi-professional team
* Flexible and proactive, with the ability to adapt teaching to meet diverse student needs
* Full UK Driving Licence
This role is perfect for someone who wants to make a tangible difference, work in a supportive and ambitious school, and be rewarded for their impact.
