Portsmouth High School - Teacher of English

Summary

Seeking a permanent, full time Teacher of English from Sep 2024 or Jan 2025

Detail

Portsmouth High School is looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic Teacher of English. The successful candidate will be a confident and effective teacher with the ability to teach Key Stage 3 to 4; the ability to teach English at A Level and an interest in debating, drama and public speaking would also be of benefit.

Whilst we welcome applications from experienced teachers, for the right candidate, this might provide an excellent early career opportunity. ECTs receive a full induction programme, including allocation of an induction mentor, individualised structured induction support, and a programme of monitoring and observations, feedback/progress reviews, and assessment meetings.

The English Department is a supportive, dynamic, well-respected and collaborative department at the heart of the school. We firmly believe that the study of literature enriches all students’ understanding of the world around them, even our more reluctant English students. We aim for our students not only to appreciate the power of language by studying a wide variety of texts, but also to consider a diverse range of perspectives and attitudes; we sincerely hope this will be instrumental in them becoming thoughtful, empathetic young women. The department aims to help our students become confident, articulate speakers and accomplished writers; we always seek to help the girls achieve their best.

Salary range: Dependent on experience (starting at £31,000 FTE for ECTs and from £39,200 FTE for experienced teachers)

The GDST is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including online checks, checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
