Position: English Teacher (Permanent)
Inspire Young Minds as an English Teacher in Watford

Are you passionate about unlocking the power of language and literature in young people? Teach Now is proud to partner with a high-achieving secondary school in Watford, Hertfordshire to find a dedicated and ambitious English Teacher ready to make a lasting impact.

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity, with a competitive salary ranging from £37,868 to £56,154 (pay aligned with teacher pay scales).

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Teach across KS3 to KS5, engaging a diverse cohort of students with imaginative, rigorous, and inspiring lessons.

• Join a supportive and forward-thinking English department with access to excellent resources and collaborative planning.

• Work in a well-respected school known for its strong academic outcomes, inclusive ethos, and clear focus on teacher development.

• Benefit from ongoing CPD, mentoring for career progression, and leadership development for those aspiring to move into middle or senior leadership.

The School:

Located in leafy Watford, within easy access of London and surrounding areas, this secondary school is part of a thriving educational trust with a strong reputation for excellence. The school offers a welcoming and inclusive culture, high expectations for both staff and students, and modern facilities designed to support innovative teaching.
