Job description
A supportive and forward-thinking 11–18 secondary school in Northwich is seeking an enthusiastic Early Career Teacher of English to join its well-established English department. This is an excellent opportunity for an ECT to begin their career in a school that is genuinely committed to developing confident, reflective and effective classroom practitioners.
The school has a strong reputation locally for its calm learning environment, clear routines and positive relationships between staff and students.
The Opportunity
You will teach English across Key Stages 3 and 4, working within a department that balances high academic expectations with creativity and inclusion. The English curriculum is carefully sequenced and well-resourced, providing ECTs with a clear framework while still allowing room to develop personal teaching style and confidence.
At Key Stage 3, the focus is on building strong literacy foundations, secure reading habits and confidence in writing. At GCSE, teaching centres on clarity, modelling and structured exam preparation, with consistent approaches to assessment and feedback across the department.
ECT Support & Development
This school has a strong track record of supporting early career teachers and offers a structured, manageable induction programme. You will benefit from:
A dedicated subject mentor within the English department
Reduced teaching timetable during your induction period
Weekly mentoring and coaching sessions
Opportunities to observe experienced teachers across the school
Access to high-quality CPD focused on pedagogy, behaviour and workload management
Support is practical, consistent and designed to help you grow steadily rather than feel overwhelmed.
The English Department
The English department is collaborative, welcoming and well organised. Shared schemes of work, common assessments and centralised resources help reduce workload and provide clarity for new staff.
The team places particular emphasis on:
High-quality modelling of reading and writing
Developing confident spoken language
Inclusive strategies for mixed-ability classes
Building positive reading culture across the school
Enrichment activities such as reading groups and writing projects are encouraged but carefully balanced with workload.
The School
This Good-rated secondary school is known for its respectful students, strong pastoral systems and consistent behaviour expectations. Classrooms are calm and purposeful, supported by visible and approachable leadership.
Staff wellbeing is taken seriously, with clear policies around marking, data and planning.
Who This Role Is For
This role would suit:
An ECT or trainee teacher completing QTS
Someone passionate about English and literacy
A reflective practitioner keen to develop classroom confidence
A team player who values collaboration and support
Why This Is a Great First Role
Strong ECT mentoring and induction
Clear curriculum and shared planning
Calm classrooms and positive behaviour
Supportive, experienced department
A school that invests in its staff long term
If you're an Early Career English Teacher looking for a supportive and well-structured start to your teaching career, this is a fantastic opportunity.
