GCSE English Lecturer (Temporary)

GCSE English Lecturer

Temporary

Location: Yorkshire and the Humber

Start date: November 2026

About the Role

A further education provider in the region is looking for a GCSE English Lecturer to join its teaching team. You'll deliver engaging GCSE English lessons to post-16 learners, many of whom are resitting alongside a vocational programme, helping them build the skills and confidence they need to achieve their qualification and progress into work or further study.

You'll plan and prepare your own sessions, assess learners' work and track their progress, giving the timely feedback and encouragement that keeps students moving forward. You'll work alongside curriculum and vocational colleagues to maintain high standards of teaching, learning and assessment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering engaging, accessible GCSE English lessons to learners of mixed abilities.
• Preparing schemes of work, lesson resources and assessments.
• Marking learners' work and providing timely, constructive feedback.
• Supporting learners with gaps in knowledge, building their confidence and motivation.
• Maintaining accurate records of attendance, achievement and progress.
• Working collaboratively with curriculum and learner support colleagues.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Experience of teaching GCSE English within further education or secondary education
• Strong understanding of the GCSE specification and effective resit strategies
• Ability to differentiate and adapt your teaching to varied learning needs
• Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to motivate learners

Desirable (but not essential):

• A recognised teaching qualification such as QTS, QTLS, PGCE, Cert Ed or Level 5 DET
• A degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject area

If you're ready to help learners achieve the English qualification that opens doors for them, we'd love to hear from you.
