Role: Teacher of English (KS3–KS5)

Location: Newmarket, Suffolk

Contract: Permanent, Full-Time

Start Date: January 2027

School Type: Independent day school

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

An independent day school in Newmarket is seeking a full-time English Teacher to join its senior school from January.

The post combines rigorous academic teaching with a broad enrichment programme. You will teach literature and language across the secondary age range, prepare pupils for public examinations and encourage them to read widely beyond the classroom.

The school values teachers who can turn close textual analysis into lively conversation. You may also be invited to support debating, public speaking, creative writing or school productions.

The successful candidate will have strong English subject knowledge, a relevant degree and experience teaching at secondary level. Sixth-form teaching would be an advantage. You should be able to provide detailed feedback while maintaining high expectations and enthusiasm.

Small classes and an academically curious pupil body create plenty of scope for discussion and individual support. The department is collaborative but gives teachers considerable freedom to develop lessons.

If you are looking for a January start at an independent school where English is treated as both a rigorous subject and a creative discipline, apply today.
