Job description

Are you a compassionate and dedicated teacher with a hunger for guiding young learners?

Teaching Personnel is seeking a Secondary English Teacher for a unique secondary SEMH provision in South Bristol. This fulfilling role supports KS4 & KS5 students, where the KS4 classes thrive on a primary teaching model, offering a nurturing environment tailored to their academic and emotional growth.

This opportunity goes beyond traditional teaching; it’s about generating meaningful relationships and empowering students through both academic instruction and practical life skills.
