Job Description

About The School
This is a very small, friendly SEN school where everyone—staff and students alike—is known, valued, and supported. Their strength lies in their close-knit community: a team that works together with warmth, humour, and dedication to bring out the very best in every young person.

With small class sizes and a personalised approach, they create a calm, nurturing environment where students feel seen, understood, and able to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. It’s a truly special place to work, and the staff are proud of the difference we make every day.

The Role
We are seeking an inspiring and committed English Teacher to take ownership of English across the school. This is a part-time role, 3 days a week, preferably Monday to Wednesday, though there can be flexibility for the right candidate.

As the only English specialist, you will have the freedom to:

• Shape and deliver a creative, engaging, and accessible curriculum
• Design lessons tailored to each student’s needs
• Lead the way in ensuring English is a vibrant and valued part of school life

This role is ideal for an experienced teacher looking to make a real impact in a smaller, more personal environment—or someone ready to take the next step into subject leadership without managing a large team. As our school grows, there will be opportunities to shape your role further and make a lasting contribution.

What We Offer

• A warm, supportive working environment where everyone is valued
• A healthy work–life balance with small classes and realistic expectations
• Freedom to teach creatively and personalise lessons
• Opportunities for professional development and growth
• A collaborative team that celebrates individuality
• A role where your ideas matter and your impact is seen every day

About You

• Qualified teacher (QTS) with a specialism in English
• Experience of, or genuine interest in, working with young people with additional needs
• Creative, reflective, and able to design an inclusive curriculum
• Positive, patient, resilient, and a team player with a sense of humour
• Excited to join a small, growing school where relationships and wellbeing come first
