English Teacher – Secondary School, Lincoln

A well-established and highly regarded 1118 secondary school in Lincoln is seeking a committed and inspiring English Specialist to join its successful English department. This is an excellent opportunity to work in a school where literacy reading culture and strong academic foundations are taken seriously and consistently prioritised.

English is a core strength of the school with strong outcomes at both GCSE and A-Level and a department that is well respected across the wider school community.

The Role

You will teach English Language and Literature across Key Stages 3 and 4 with opportunities to contribute to Sixth Form teaching depending on experience. The department follows a carefully sequenced curriculum that balances rigorous academic content with creativity discussion and purposeful writing.

At Key Stage 3 there is a strong focus on reading fluency vocabulary development and confident analytical writing. At GCSE teaching is structured and exam-focused without being restrictive allowing students to develop secure knowledge of texts alongside strong exam technique.

You will be encouraged to bring your own subject passion into lessons while working within a supportive shared departmental framework.

The English Department

The English team is experienced collaborative and stable with a strong culture of shared planning and moderation. Schemes of work are well established reducing workload while ensuring consistency and high standards across year groups.

The department plays a central role in whole-school literacy initiatives and enrichment including reading programmes writing competitions and theatre visits. These are well supported by leadership and embedded into the schools calendar rather than added on.

The School

This is a Good-rated secondary school with a reputation for calm classrooms respectful behaviour and strong pastoral care. Students are well supported and respond positively to clear routines and high expectations.

Leadership is visible and approachable with a genuine focus on staff wellbeing and retention. Teachers describe the working culture as professional supportive and well organised with sensible approaches to marking data and workload.

What the School Is Looking For

• A qualified English teacher (QTS or equivalent)

• Strong subject knowledge and enthusiasm for English

• Ability to deliver clear engaging lessons

• Commitment to literacy inclusion and student progress

• Willingness to contribute to departmental and whole-school initiatives

This role would suit an experienced teacher or a confident ECT seeking a supportive and well-run school.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Strong well-resourced English department

• Clear curriculum and shared planning

• Calm behaviour and focused learning environment

• Supportive leadership and realistic expectations

• Opportunity to make a real impact on literacy and outcomes

If youre an English teacher looking for a stable well-led school where your subject is valued and your workload is respected this is an excellent opportunity.
