Are you an educator who believes that mastering language is the key to unlocking a student's potential in every other area of life? Can you transform a complex piece of 19th-century prose into a relatable, gripping narrative for a room full of teenagers, while simultaneously sharpening their own ability to argue, persuade, and create? We are searching for a passionate Qualified English Teacher to join a forward-thinking Secondary School in Bury St Edmunds. This is a full-time, long-term role for a specialist who thrives on the diversity of the English curriculum-from the rhythmic beauty of poetry to the structured logic of non-fiction.
