Full Time (flexible part-time hours/days will also be considered)

Alderman White School is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and collaborative English teacher, who has a genuine love for the subject, to join our skilful and supportive English department. Our English Department has a strong reputation for delivering high quality teaching and learning, which is achieved by working together as a team and staying up-to-date with the latest research and developments in teaching and learning. We are looking for an English specialist who is able to teach all abilities within the 11-16 age range. You will have a passion for innovation and the skills to engage, inspire and motivate our students. Experience in teaching Media Studies is desirable but not essential. ECTs are welcome to apply and will benefit from high quality mentoring and support.

Alderman White School is a friendly, thriving and stimulating place to work and study. Our students are well-behaved and motivated.  We have excellent support from parents and the community, and a talented and positive staff team. We are ambitious for every student and provide high-quality pastoral care and support, as well as outstanding enrichment opportunities for our students and the local community.

Staff wellbeing and development is very important to us – we offer a strong sense of community, high quality staffroom facilities and a carefully tailored staff development programme, centralised behaviour system, a feedback policy which takes account of workload, and access to health services through the Schools Advisory Service. PPA time is above the statutory requirement and can be taken off site.

The school is conveniently located 5 minutes from Junction 25 of the M1, close to the A52, as well as tram and bus routes, in a suburban area close to Nottingham University.

Our membership of White Hills Park Trust, a small local Trust of diverse schools with a common ethos and values, provides excellent opportunities for further professional development and networking.
