English Teacher

Job description

Love literature? Passionate about language? Ready to inspire the next generation of writers, thinkers, and storytellers?

An ambitious and forward-thinking secondary school in Chelmsford is looking for a brilliant English Teacher to join its thriving team this September. This is your chance to teach in a place where creativity is celebrated, ideas are welcomed, and your passion for English will truly be appreciated.

You won't just be teaching texts - you'll be bringing them to life. From Shakespeare to spoken word, the English department is all about igniting curiosity, sparking imagination, and helping students find their voice. The team is dynamic, supportive, and full of energy - and they're ready to welcome a new colleague who shares their love of language and learning.

What They're Looking For:
You don't need to be a literary scholar (although it wouldn't hurt). What matters most is that you:

  • Bring real passion and flair to your teaching

  • Can make grammar exciting and poetry powerful

  • Have high expectations and a positive classroom presence

  • Want to be part of a team that collaborates, innovates, and genuinely supports one another

  • Are ready to contribute to the wider life of the school and shape young minds with confidence and care

Whether you're an experienced practitioner or a talented ECT, your fresh ideas and enthusiasm will be valued here.

What's on Offer:

  • A vibrant English department with great camaraderie and shared ambition

  • Students who are eager to learn and respond well to creative teaching

  • Strong leadership that empowers staff and encourages professional growth

  • Ongoing CPD, exciting projects, and a school that believes in the power of English to change lives

If you're ready to bring energy, imagination, and a love of language to a school that truly values its teachers - this could be your perfect next step.
