Chichester College Group is seeking an engaging and resilient GCSE English Teacher to deliver aspirational, purposeful English lessons to students re-sitting their GCSE, primarily those studying Construction and related vocational programmes.
GCSE English is a key progression hurdle for construction learners, and we are looking for someone who genuinely understands the challenge this presents and is motivated by helping students overcome it. This role is ideally suited to an English specialist who can connect with vocational learners, build trust quickly, and deliver engaging, relevant lessons that clearly demonstrate how English skills support life, work, and long-term career progression within industry.
In this role, you will teach GCSE English to students who have already completed the curriculum and are working to improve their grade to at least a 4. Many learners may arrive with low confidence, mixed previous experiences of English, or anxiety around resits, so you will need to be able to motivate, challenge and re-ignite ambition. You will plan and deliver exciting, challenging lessons aligned to the exam board specification, specifically designed to meet the needs of re-sit learners. Teaching will predominantly involve construction students, requiring you to adapt content so that it feels practical, meaningful and clearly linked to their vocational studies.
You will use effective assessment and feedback strategies to stretch and support learners regardless of their starting point, while managing and positively channelling challenging behaviour. You will recognise that when expectations are clear and lessons are purposeful and engaging, these learners can be highly rewarding to teach. A key part of the role is supporting students to develop the English skills they genuinely need for employment, further study and sustained career success.
This is a highly rewarding opportunity for a Teacher who enjoys seeing transformational progress and understands the power of English in unlocking opportunity for vocational learners.
