GCSE English Teacher
Foundation Learning
Permanent vacancy – 37 hours per week
£24,577 to £37,017 per annum
Our new GCSE English Teacher will support the delivery of Teaching & Learning activities, promote independent learning outside of the classroom and provide additional, extended, 1:1 and group learning and study activities across Foundation Learning areas. Candidates will be learner and quality-focused; their learners will be constantly stretched and challenged to achieve their full potential and they will accept nothing other than ‘outstanding’ outcomes and levels of performance.

We are looking for a person with the desire to work with disadvantaged young people and the emotional resilience to support them unconditionally. Our new delivery model for Maths and English means that every learner will be in GCSE classes of 12 or less and will also have some additional mentoring sessions in smaller focus groups, therefore providing increased engagement and accessibility to help drive learner achievement.

This post will be based at our Fleets campus, which is a smaller building outside of the main campus, allowing our learners to flourish in an environment tailored to their individual needs. The Foundation Learning department is high performing, caring and supportive, fully equipped to provide excellent teaching and learning, thus providing our students the best opportunity of achieving.

Barnsley College welcome applications from newly qualified teachers, as dedicated support will be provided whatever your level of experience.
