Teacher of English job summary
Take your career to the next level
As the only all ability academy in Buckinghamshire, we do whatever it takes to tackle disadvantage and provide an outstanding education to everyone. Our innovative curriculum is as diverse as our student community and is purpose-designed to release the potential of academic high-flyers and those with SEN alike.
But what really sets us apart is our teachers: their passion drives our progress and transforms the way we think and work. You can join them and take your career to the next level.
Explore the opportunity
You will be joining a strong, friendly, teaching department with a wide range of expertise. Whilst we will happily support an ECT, this would also be the ideal role to further develop your teaching craft and develop your leadership skills. There will be opportunities to teach across KS3, 4 and 5, allowing you to present your enthusiasm for the subject or to develop best practice. English is a leading department at Highcrest; GCSE results are good and A-Level students have progressed to prestigious Universities, including Cambridge. Literacy is a whole-school key improvement focus.
Discover what we can offer you
Alongside a comprehensive package of benefits, we offer significant investment in your professional development and the possibility of onsite accommodation if you need to relocate. You can also expect facilities that are second to none, including an excellent canteen, gym and coffee shop, and will enjoy a Wellness Day to relax and unwind every year in addition to school holidays. But above all, you will relish the satisfaction of transforming futures and helping our students overcome obstacles to experience life to the full.
