Tired of the mainstream exam factory pressure? Ready to use your English degree to actually change lives?
We are looking for a dedicated English Teacher to join a specialist therapeutic school in Tamworth. This is a setting where connection precedes curriculum. Our students have often been misunderstood or let down by traditional education; your job is to rediscover their potential through literature, language, and unwavering support.
The Environment
You wont find rows of desks and silent hallways here. Our school is a small:scale, nurturing hub designed specifically for young people with SEMH needs, ADHD, and Autism. We operate on a trauma:informed basis, meaning we look past behavior to understand the child underneath.
The Impact Youll Make
*
Tailored Teaching: Youll lead the English department, delivering everything from basic literacy and Functional Skills to GCSEs for Key Stages 3 through 5.
*
Therapeutic Approach: Utilising the PACE model, youll help students regulate their emotions while boosting their confidence in reading and writing.
*
Holistic Progress: You arent just hitting targets; youre helping students achieve the outcomes outlined in their EHCPs, preparing them for life beyond the classroom.
Are You the Right Fit?
We arent just looking for a subject expert; were looking for a mentor.
*
Qualified: You hold QTS and have a solid grasp of the secondary English curriculum.
*
Empathetic: You understand that a students emotional state is the foundation of their ability to learn.
*
Dynamic: You can turn a conversation about a film or a song into a lesson on narrative structure or poetic device.
*
Committed: You have experience in SEN or a strong desire to transition into a specialist setting where your presence truly matters.
The Perks
*
Work:Life Balance: Small groups and a collaborative staff team mean less paperwork burnout and more meaningful teaching.
*
Competitive Salary: A sliding scale that recognises your experience and dedication.
*
Career Path: Benefit from specialised training in trauma:informed practice and restorative justice.
*
Support: Access to a generous pension scheme and enhanced family:friendly policies.
