KS3/4 English Teacher

KS3/4 English Specialist

Oldham – April 2025 start

Prospero Teaching is looking for a English teacher for an Ofsted Good Secondary school in Oldham. You will be responsible for teaching English, both to KS3 and KS4. This timetable would be suitable for an ECT looking for support with their Induction terms, or a more experienced colleague looking for a two term supply booking.

The school is a mainstream Secondary School with a supportive cover team and teaching staff. The school is going from strength to strength and providing CPD throughout the year. Our school is easily accessible by road (M60 and M62), so this position is ideal for colleagues based in Greater Manchester, Lancashire or West Yorkshire.

Behaviour on the whole is extremely positive and any isolated issues are dealt with by a positive, pro-active “on call” team with a wealth of experience in pastoral matters.

The position is open to NQT’s/ECT’s and more experienced colleagues. You will be paid to scale from day one of this assignment and we are available to discuss this role with teaching professionals as soon as possible.
