We are seeking to appoint a committed and enthusiastic teacher of English and Media. The successful candidate will have a real passion for their subject and the ability to translate this for the students in their care. You will have the desire to ensure that our core value of ‘being the best you can be’ is fulfilled. You should have energy and enthusiasm and enjoy working supportively with young people as both a subject teacher and a tutor. Teaching is a challenging job and the person appointed will need to be committed, creative, dynamic and willing to work hard to raise aspirations. We will need you to have stamina and a sense of humour. We wish to appoint a teacher who can successfully employ a range of teaching strategies to maximise the potential of our students at Key stage 3, 4 and Post 16 across our school.

The successful applicant will join the Communication Faculty at Countesthorpe Academy which has strong and committed teachers. There will be a range of developmental opportunities to enhance professional skills. The Academy is a welcoming and friendly place to work.
