• Foster a positive, supportive, and inclusive learning environment

Key Requirements:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Experience teaching English at secondary level (Primary-trained teachers with upper KS2 experience will also be considered)
• Ability to build rapport with students and staff
• Experience working with children with additional needs or in a PRU setting (preferred but not essential)
• Strong classroom management skills and a patient, empathetic approach
