We are seeking a dynamic and intellectually driven English Teacher for a full-time, long-term temporary position at our partner secondary school in Battersea.

- Creative Expression: Inspire students to develop their own unique voices through creative writing, debating, and structured oracy tasks.
- Inclusive Scaffolding: Differentiate complex literary concepts to ensure all learners-regardless of ability or background-can access and enjoy the curriculum.
- Collaborative Growth: Participate in departmental moderation, resource sharing, and the development of innovative schemes of work that reflect the diversity of the Battersea community.
