About this Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic, dedicated, and passionate Teacher of English who is committed to making a positive impact on students’ lives. The successful candidate will possess strong subject knowledge and a clear understanding of effective teaching and learning in English, alongside a genuine commitment to supporting the progress and development of every student.

The ideal candidate will be a collaborative team player, adaptable in their approach, and eager to contribute to a dynamic and supportive learning environment. A positive, proactive attitude and a commitment to continuous professional development are essential.

Applicants should have the experience or capability to teach across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5, delivering high-quality lessons to students from Year 7 through to Year 13 across a range of abilities. You will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards in students’ learning, quality of work, and behaviour.

If you are passionate about education and driven to make a meaningful difference, we would be delighted to hear from you.

About the School

Burnt Mill is a caring and friendly school and our students tell us that when they come to school, they feel happy, safe and they enjoy their learning. This positive environment, where our students are supported and inspired to be the best that they can possibly be, enables every child to thrive. Indeed, many pupils enjoy school life so much that they often stay until 5.00 pm to continue their studies or to participate in extra-curricular activities.

BMAT is a thriving community of schools, committed to providing an outstanding education for every student attending one of our schools. We create environments where individuals matter, confidence flourishes, and every child can achieve exceptional outcomes. We currently oversee seven secondary academies and five primary academies, primarily located in Harlow, with additional sites in Newham and Stansted.

The Trust’s vision is clear - to work together to smash through the barriers that prevent children from becoming confident, high-achieving, and independent individuals.

What can BMAT offer you?
BMAT provides a range of benefits to support your personal and professional well-being:

·         Generous employer pension contribution through Teachers Pensions or Local Government Pension Scheme

·         Private healthcare benefits, including 24/7 Doctor Line Access

·         Home and electronic salary sacrifice scheme

·         Cycle to work

·         Discounted Gym membership through salary sacrifice

·         Lifestyle and discount savings

Workplace nursery fee salary sacrifice scheme via Yellownest

·         24/7 Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for wellbeing support


We encourage early applications and reserve the right to close the advert if a suitable candidate is shortlisted and appointed prior to the closing date.

BMAT Education is committed to safeguarding children; successful candidates will be subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance, we may also conduct an online search about any shortlisted candidates as part of our due diligence to identify any matters that might relate directly to our legal duty to meet safeguarding duties, in accordance with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE).
