We have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic English teacher here at Backwell School. This is a full time position from 1 September 2022. The current post holder is leaving at Easter so there is the possibility of an earlier start if convenient for the right candidate.
The successful candidate will have strong experience as an English teacher and the desire to undertake a leadership role: this position comes with a TLR as English KS5 Coordinator. The experience of teaching English at all key stages and/or key stage coordinator responsibilities is beneficial but not essential.
English Language and English Literature are popular at A Level and the successful candidate will have responsibility, alongside the Curriculum Leader for English, to lead and oversee this area of our curriculum along with driving recruitment to these subjects.

The closing date for applications is 9.00 am on Monday 31 January 2022. Those who are successful following shortlisting, will be contacted regarding interview arrangements. Interviews will take place before the end of Term 3.
The Lighthouse Schools Partnership – Backwell School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all in our community to share this commitment.
