Teacher of English
Overview
We are looking for a subject specialist who can ignite within our students a passion for English Language and Literature, ensuring they have a real love of English, and as a result, achieve their very best. We have a growing sixth form, and the ability to teach English Literature A-Level would be desirable.
- You will be ambitious for yourself, for the department and our students, ensuring all students achieve their full potential.
- You will set exceptionally high standards in the classroom.
- You will plan and deliver innovative and challenging lessons that will inspire our students to become articulate, curious, imaginative, capable and productive members of our society.
This is an exciting time in our school’s development, and indeed within the English Department. We were judged to be GOOD by Ofsted (June 2023) and are keen to make sure our school continues to be a truly great place to learn and to teach. Our English department is well-led by a highly skilled, experienced leader, and we are proud of our innovative team of English teachers, who are dedicated to the achievement of all of our young people.
We can offer you a teaching post in a vibrant 11-18 comprehensive school on the beautiful north Cornwall coast. You will be well-supported, trusted to innovate, and expected to contribute fully to the department.
We have an excellent programme for new teaching staff and have a bespoke Early Career Framework programme for all new teachers.
We also offer a wide range of employee benefits, including free membership to the Smart Clinic and access to One and All Employee Benefits.
At Budehaven we are committed to the safeguarding; the successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
