- Experience teaching English within a secondary school setting.
- Strong subject knowledge and a genuine passion for English.
- Excellent classroom management and communication skills.
- A commitment to raising achievement and supporting all learners to succeed.
- A flexible and adaptable approach, with an interest in working across both mainstream and specialist provisions.
- Experience supporting students with SEND and/or SEMH would be advantageous but is not essential.
- An enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service, or be willing to apply for one through GSL Education.
