We have a large campus style site set around a lake in a semi rural location, with good transport links from the A50, A38, M1 and M6.

The Role

We are looking to recruit a full time Teacher of English to join our successful and dedicated team. The ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to engage and motivate students at KS3 and KS4.
