Bury St Edmunds
Are you a passionate, Qualified English Teacher ready to inspire young minds in the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds?
Can you bring complex literary texts to life while equipping students with the essential communication skills they need for the future?
If you are looking for a full-time, temporary placement in a highly supportive West Suffolk school, we want to hear from you.
We are seeking a dedicated and dynamic Qualified English Teacher (QTS) to join our partner Secondary School in Bury St Edmunds. This full-time, temporary role is perfect for an educator who can step into an established department and deliver high-impact lessons immediately. Whether you are an experienced practitioner looking for a flexible temporary contract or an ECT seeking to broaden your classroom experience, you will be welcomed into a faculty that values collaborative planning and high academic standards.
Your Responsibilities
- Curriculum Delivery: Plan and deliver high-quality English Language and Literature lessons across KS3 and KS4, ensuring students engage deeply with both modern and classical texts.
- Exam Preparation: Support Year 11 cohorts as they prepare for their GCSE examinations, utilising data-driven interventions to build their confidence and boost attainment.
- Adaptive Teaching: Differentiate lessons effectively to support a wide range of learning styles and abilities, providing scaffolding for lower-attaining students while stretching high-flyers.
- Literacy & Oracy Focus: Cultivate strong reading, analytical writing, and debate skills, helping students develop a clear and articulate voice.
- Marking & Assessment: Maintain the school's standards for timely marking, feedback, and progress tracking throughout the duration of the temporary contract.
- Departmental Collaboration: Work closely with the English faculty to share resources, participate in moderation, and maintain a consistent learning experience for all pupils.
What You'll Bring to the Team
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) / QTLS: Mandatory. A degree in English Literature, English Language, or a closely related discipline.
- Classroom Presence: Exceptional classroom management skills, with the ability to quickly establish rapport and set high expectations with new classes.
- Curriculum Knowledge: A strong familiarity with the current UK National Curriculum and GCSE specifications (AQA, Edexcel, or Eduqas).
- Adaptability: The flexibility to seamlessly integrate into a new school community and hit the ground running with a full-time teaching timetable.
- Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad).
