Secondary English Teacher (m/f/d)

Secondary English Teacher (m/f/d)

St. George’s School seeks an experienced professional to teach English in our Secondary, starting January 2027, or earlier.

The School

Serving the international community in Duisburg-Düsseldorf for over 20 years, St. George’s School combines an enriching curriculum with family orientated care. The school has grown from small beginnings into a thriving community of approximately 650 pupils, aged from 2-18 and representing a broad range of nationalities. 

The National Curriculum is taught throughout the school, and we offer the IB Diploma in our Sixth Form. 

One of a group of three schools located across Germany, St. George’s offers the successful applicant an exciting range of opportunities for professional development and growth across the school group. 

The Location

Located on a new, purpose built campus in the heart of Germany’s Rhine-Ruhr region, St. George’s School enjoys direct transport links to the cities of Düsseldorf and Duisburg, as well as to the greater Rhine-Ruhr area. 

Germany’s sixth largest city, Düsseldorf is a dynamic and vibrant cultural centre, with a large and diverse international community. Situated in the heart of Europe, Düsseldorf offers a high standard of living, as well as numerous opportunities for travel and cultural discovery. 

Düsseldorf airport is located only 15km from the school, with many daily flights to the UK, and high speed rail services connect Düsseldorf to a wide range of European destinations. 

The Role

We are seeking to appoint a qualified English Teacher to work within our team of secondary teachers.

The successful applicant will be a dynamic teacher with experience of enabling pupils to achieve their potential. We are looking for the right balance between experience, enthusiasm and a passion for teaching that will inspire our pupils.

The secondary department covers the age range 11-18 and incorporates the curricula for Key Stage 3, IGCSE and IB Diploma. We prepare pupils for both the English Language and English Literature IGCSE qualifications and offer both English Literature and English Language and Literature as IB options at Standard and Higher Level. Familiarity with the British education system is therefore a prerequisite. Experience of IB teaching is preferred, but not required. Please note that pure EAL Teachers will unfortunately not be considered.

Given the growing and developing nature of the school, flexibility and the desire to support other team members is a prerequisite. A strong desire to contribute to the rich pastoral and extra-curricular life of the school will also be an advantage.

Please download our application pack from the "documents" tab for detailed information.

Only applications made through the TES online portal will be considered.

We require additional information for your application, please upload the following documents to your Schrole profile:

• A copy of all your degree certificates and corresponding academic transcripts

• A copy of your teaching qualification

All applicants should hold a valid teaching qualification. We consider a degree in education (e.g. B.Ed./M.Ed./Lehramt), or postgraduate teaching certificate (e.g. PGCE) as valid. English language teaching certificates (e.g. TEFL/IELTS/CELTA) are not sufficient. 

Applications should be submitted by the closing date of Sunday, 6th of September 2026 . The school reserves the right to contact outstanding applicants in advance of this deadline.

St. George’s is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful applicant will therefore be subject to enhanced background checks.
