Are you a qualified English Teacher available immediately after October half-term and looking for a consistent teaching assignment until Christmas?

Aspire People is recruiting an English Teacher for a secondary school in the B18 area of Birmingham, with a full-time position starting Monday 2 November and continuing until the end of the autumn term.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident, committed English specialist who can step into an established department, deliver engaging lessons and maintain high expectations for pupil behaviour and achievement.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a teacher who can provide consistency and continuity throughout November and December.

You will be responsible for delivering English lessons across the secondary curriculum, supporting pupils with English Language and Literature and ensuring that learning continues effectively throughout the assignment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering engaging English lessons across KS3 and KS4.
• Teaching English Language and Literature in line with departmental schemes of work.
• Supporting GCSE pupils with examination preparation and developing their reading, writing and analytical skills.
• Maintaining strong classroom routines and managing behaviour confidently.
• Adapting teaching to support pupils with different abilities and learning needs.
• Marking, assessing and monitoring pupil progress.
• Working collaboratively with the English department and wider school staff.

Who Are We Looking For?

You must hold QTS or QTLS and have experience delivering English within a secondary school environment.

Strong behaviour management is particularly important. We are looking for a teacher who can establish clear expectations from the outset, build positive relationships with pupils and maintain a purposeful learning environment.

You should have secure subject knowledge across English Language and Literature, with the confidence to deliver GCSE-level content.

We are interested in teachers who are organised, adaptable and comfortable taking responsibility for a full teaching timetable.

Applications are welcomed from experienced English Teachers and confident Early Career Teachers.
