What skills and experience we're looking for

You must be able to clearly communicate your passion for English and literacy, and engage successfully with our learners.

You will be required to teach across the full age and ability range, and therefore you must have good knowledge and understanding of KS3 and KS4 English Language and Literature. Applications are welcomed from ECTs. We will appoint the best candidate on the day. This could be an upper threshold teacher, main scale teacher or ECT.

What the school offers its staff

Are you looking to teach in a happy, well established and successful English Department, where Ofsted recently said behaviour was excellent?

We are based on the outskirts of Durham, with good road connections to the A19 and A1. We have excellent facilities and resources and currently offer a generous non-contact allocation, which equates to one session per day. The School is well regarded in the locality and has been oversubscribed for the past 4 years.

Kepier is committed to promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young people. Enhanced Certificate of Disclosures are required for this position. Please note that in all cases, written references will be sought and made available to interviewers before the final selection stage.
