Teacher Of English

0.6 To 1.0

Permanent

We are seeking to appoint a Teacher of English to join this very successful 11-18 school, situated on the fringe of the Lake District National Park. Full or part time (0.6 to 1.0) will be considered.

The English department is committed to giving students a rich and varied exposure to both language and literature.  Outcomes in English are strong, as is uptake at A level. We are an evidence-informed team and will be attractive to teachers who are dedicated to continual improvement of their own practice and also keen to work as a team to embed learning over time for all of our students.     Extensive enrichment opportunities such as live theatre are provided both within and beyond the school day.

We require someone who can inspire, motivate and challenge all students. The ability to teach A level is desirable but not essential.

The start date for this post will be negotiated with the successful candidate, commencing no later than 1 September 2024.

Cockermouth School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and well-being of students, engages with young people and staff on policy and practice developments, proactively encourages feedback and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Cockermouth School is a Safeguarding School.  The successful applicant will be subject to relevant barred lists check(s), undertake an enhanced DBS and where appropriate to the post will be required to complete a Childcare Disqualification Declaration.  Shortlisted candidates will need to disclose relevant criminal history.
