Role: Teacher of English (KS3–KS5)

Location: St Albans, Hertfordshire

Contract: Permanent, Part-Time (3 Days)

Start Date: September 2026

School Type: Selective grammar school

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

A selective grammar school in St Albans is appointing an English Teacher on a three-day permanent contract.

Students are academically ambitious and respond well to teachers who can challenge them to read critically, write precisely and explore competing interpretations. You will teach English Language and Literature, with opportunities to support GCSE and sixth-form groups as well as enrichment activities.

The school would particularly welcome someone with a strong interest in literature who can introduce students to texts beyond the examination list. Debating, essay competitions, creative writing and wider reading are important parts of the department's work.

Applicants should have excellent subject knowledge, a relevant degree and successful classroom experience. You should be comfortable stretching high-attaining students while maintaining an inclusive atmosphere in which all pupils can contribute.

The department provides a stimulating academic environment, shared resources and opportunities for colleagues to develop their own curriculum interests.

For an English specialist seeking a permanent role with a reduced timetable, this St Albans vacancy offers an attractive combination of academic challenge and flexibility.
