Meadowbrook College

English Teacher

MPS/UPS (£25,714 - £41,604) + SEN (£2,270)

Permanent/Full-time (preferable)

Are you an English teacher with a real passion for your subject and looking for a new challenge? 

Can you build positive relationships with young people and make a difference? 

Are you enthusiastic, resilient and have a flexible approach?

Do you have the experience and passion to give the most vulnerable children and young people the best chance to succeed and thrive? 

We are looking for a skilled KS3/4 English teacher for our North Oxfordshire provision based in Banbury, for an Easter start. You will be part of a passionate and dedicated team making a real difference to young people’s lives. 

This exciting and varied role will provide you with a wide range of experiences, including: 

• being a tutor to a small group of students 

• developing your skills in working with children with SEMH/ASD/Mental Health difficulties 

• opportunity to work with primary age pupils in support of them developing their literacy skills 

We believe in a shared team ethos, working together using flexible and supportive approaches to develop students’ learning and behaviour. Meadowbrook staff have a ‘can do’ attitude that makes a real difference to the lives of our students; many of which have become disengaged with education and lost the confidence to achieve their full potential. 

We are always looking for creative and innovative ways forward and offer a variety of opportunities for ongoing professional development and training. We are working in an ever-changing educational climate where the need for an alternative provision solution is increasing. We are always adapting and new opportunities are always evolving.
