English Teacher - Leeds

ob Title: English Teacher
Location: Leeds
Salary: Pay to scale
Contract: Full-time, Long-term / Permanent
Start Date: As soon as possible

Ready for a role where your love of English actually gets the room buzzing?

We’re working with a secondary school in Leeds that’s on the lookout for an English teacher who can bring texts to life, spark proper discussion, and make even a Monday morning lesson feel worthwhile.

This isn’t a tick-box role. It’s a chance to step into a school where your subject is valued, your time is respected, and your ideas are genuinely welcomed.

What’s the school like?

Think supportive leadership, a team that pulls together, and students who respond to teachers who care about their craft.

You’ll be joining a department that shares resources, backs each other up, and knows that great teaching isn’t about reinventing the wheel every night.

What you’ll be doing

• Teaching English across KS3 and KS4, with potential for KS5 depending on experience
• Planning and delivering lessons that actually stick, not just fill time
• Creating a classroom where students feel confident to speak up and have a go
• Marking and assessment, without unnecessary workload piling up
• Working alongside a collaborative and down-to-earth department

What we’re looking for

• UK QTS (or equivalent)
• A confident classroom presence, you know how to hold a room without shouting over it
• A passion for English, whether that’s Shakespeare, spoken word, or helping a reluctant reader finally get it
• Someone who builds rapport quickly and brings consistency to their teaching
• ECTs and experienced teachers both welcome

What you’ll get in return

• Pay to scale, no complicated pay structures
• A school that supports you, not second-guesses you
• Access to our FREE CPD Academy, including ongoing training
• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
• A dedicated consultant who actually listens and gets what you’re looking for
• Opportunities across a range of schools if you want flexibility or progression

Let’s be honest.
A great English teacher can change how a student sees the world, and themselves.

If you’re ready for a role where that matters, and where you’re backed to do your best work, we’d love to chat.
