Description

Are you an English teacher ready to step away from the pressures of mainstream education and rediscover the joy of teaching?

At Break Through School, we believe English is more than a subject, it’s a way for learners to find their voice, tell their story, and reconnect with education.

We are a alternative setting where relationships come first, individuality is celebrated, and every learner’s voice is truly heard.

About the Role

We are looking for a passionate and creative English teacher who can:

• Bring reading to life by contextualising texts to learners’ ages, interests, and abilities
• Spark excitement and curiosity in literature and language
• Awaken the writer within every learner, building confidence and self-expression
• Deliver engaging, interactive lessons that go beyond the desk
• Use technology, active learning, and outdoor opportunities to inspire engagement
• Adapt teaching approaches for learners who do not learn in traditional ways

This is not a “sit down and write quietly” classroom. You will need to be flexible, imaginative, and willing to teach in ways that truly connect.

Why Join Break Through School?

Break Through School is an exceptional alternative provision offering a genuinely rewarding teaching experience. We pride ourselves on being a warm, welcoming, and supportive community where both staff and learners thrive.

We offer:

• A welcoming, friendly, and highly supportive staff team
• A strong culture of collaboration, care, and respect
• A comprehensive wellbeing package, including:
• Westfield private healthcare
• Wellbeing Wednesdays
• Friday Feast and team events
• High-quality, meaningful CPD opportunities
• The opportunity to make a real difference every day

Who We’re Looking For

You might be the right fit if you:

• Are an enthusiastic and reflective English teacher
• Want to move away from rigid, traditional teaching approaches
• Are passionate about helping learners find their voice
• Can think creatively and deliver innovative lessons
• Are confident using technology and active teaching approaches
• Believe every learner deserves to be heard, valued, and inspired

Why This Role Matters

This is more than a teaching job.

It’s an opportunity to inspire a love of reading, unlock creativity, and help learners rediscover their confidence. Your work will have a lasting impact, not just on outcomes, but on lives.
