• Have a strong subject knowledge and a genuine passion for English.
• Can plan and deliver engaging lessons that cater for a range of abilities.

Early Career Teachers (ECTs) with strong teaching placements are also encouraged to apply.

Why Work Through GSL Education?

At GSL Education, we pride ourselves on matching educators with schools where they can genuinely thrive and build long-term careers.

Our experienced consultants have a wealth of knowledge within the education sector and a proven track record of successfully matching teachers with the right schools.

When you work with GSL Education, you will receive:

• An experienced consultant who will guide you through the entire process from initial application through to starting in school.
• Pay in line with the appropriate teacher pay scale, meaning you will be paid at the same rate you would receive if employed directly by the school.
• Honest and transparent communication throughout the recruitment process.
• Support with interviews, school visits and the onboarding process.
• Access to opportunities that may not be advertised elsewhere.
• A consultant who takes the time to understand your experience, career goals and the type of school you are looking for.
• Ongoing support once you are working in school — we don't simply place you and disappear.

Permanent Opportunity

The school is offering a permanent contract following a successful probation period, making this an excellent opportunity for a teacher looking to secure a long-term position and become an established member of the school community.

The school is also willing to wait for the right teacher, so if you are currently working and have a contractual notice period to complete, this will not prevent you from being considered.
