Job overview

Tes is supporting the appointment of a Teacher of English to join a High School based in Portsmouth.

This High School is looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic Teacher of English from September 2024 or January 2025. 

The successful candidate will be a confident and effective teacher with the ability to teach Key Stage 3 to 4. The ability to teach English at A Level and an interest in debating, drama and public speaking would also be of benefit.

Whilst they welcome applications from experienced teachers, for the right candidate, this might provide an excellent early career opportunity. 

ECTs receive a full induction programme, including allocation of an induction mentor, individualised structured induction support, and a programme of monitoring and observations, feedback/progress reviews, and assessment meetings.

The English Department is a supportive, dynamic, well-respected and collaborative department at the heart of the school. They firmly believe that the study of literature enriches all students’ understanding of the world around them; even their more reluctant English students. 

The school:

Pupils are happy, confident and ambitious, giving them an unparalleled preparation for life. The school is located in Southsea, an attractive region on the south coast with excellent transport links. The area has retained much of its original Georgian character; notably, two of the school buildings were designed by architect Thomas Ellis Owen who was instrumental in shaping development of the local area.

They are a welcoming and caring community and pride themselves on being a lovely place to work. The school offers a range of career opportunities both internally and more widely throughout the network and is committed to staff well-being.

Benefits:

They offer a variety of benefits, such as:

  • Competitive salaries and pay progression
  • Access to extensive professional development opportunities
  • Training grants for qualifications
  • Generous pension schemes
  • Free life assurance benefit
  • A discount of up to 50% on fees for children
  • Employee discount benefits, financial advice and an employee assistance programme
  • A Cycle to Work scheme
  • Competitive terms and conditions of employment

Interview date: Friday 10 May 2024 tbc.
