English Teacher (ECT) - Northampton, Northamptonshire -...

A welcoming and forward-thinking 11–18 secondary school in Northampton is looking to appoint a passionate English ECT from January 2026 . This school is ideal for an Early Career Teacher seeking stability, strong mentoring and a genuinely supportive start to the profession.

The Opportunity

You will teach English across KS3–KS4 , with the chance to gradually take on KS5 as confidence develops. The department uses a well-structured, knowledge-rich curriculum built around high-quality texts, clear routines and strong literacy foundations. ECTs benefit from detailed medium-term plans, shared resources and weekly coaching sessions.

School Environment

The school holds a Good Ofsted rating and is known locally for its inclusive ethos, calm classrooms and committed leadership. The English block includes recently refurbished classrooms, access to a modern library and quiet breakout areas for small-group reading.

Support for ECTs

  • Reduced timetable in Term 1 and 2
  • Assigned subject mentor + weekly developmental coaching
  • Joint planning sessions and access to modelling lessons
  • Opportunities to observe across different departments

What You’ll Bring

  • A genuine passion for English literature and language
  • Strong communication skills and a reflective mindset
  • Ability to build rapport and establish clear routines
  • A willingness to contribute to enrichment (debate club, theatre visits, reading groups)

If you’re an English ECT who wants a school that nurtures, guides and invests in its early career teachers, please submit your CV.
