English Teacher

We are looking to appoint two experienced and dedicated English Teachers to work across KS3 and KS4.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who is looking for a new challenge and has a flexible approach, to join a committed team at New River College.

The ability to teach complementary subjects such as Media, Drama and PSHE would be desirable although not essential.

New River College comprises of three pupil referral units in Islington (primary, secondary and medical), for pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD). We teach children and young people aged five to sixteen years old who have been permanently excluded or participate in our preventative programmes to address their behaviour, and children and young people with complex SEBD or medical needs.

Our PRUs have been inspected under the new Ofsted framework and all are either good or outstanding.

We offer a core curriculum to all pupils which includes English, Maths, Science, PE and a selection of foundation subjects. We also work with a number of alternative providers around enhanced learning opportunities.

For an informal discussion about the post please contact the Deputy Headteacher, Jamela Ricketts, on 020 7607 6500.
