📚 English Teacher – Wakefield
📍 Location: Wakefield
💷 Salary: Pay to scale
📅 Start Date: September


Ready to make Shakespeare feel less… scary and a lot more exciting? 🎭

We’re working with a welcoming secondary school in Wakefield that’s on the lookout for an English Teacher who can bring texts to life, spark debate, and maybe even get a class arguing passionately about poetry (yes, really).

Whether you’re an experienced teacher who knows your way around a busy classroom, or an ECT finding your feet, this one’s got the support and structure to help you thrive.


✨ What’s the vibe?

Think supportive leadership, a well-run department, and students who actually want to learn (most days, we’re being honest here 😄).

You’ll be joining a team that shares resources, backs each other up, and knows that great teaching doesn’t happen in isolation.


🧑‍🏫 What you’ll be doing:

  • Teaching English across KS3 and KS4
  • Bringing literature and language to life in a way that sticks
  • Creating a classroom where students feel confident to speak up
  • Working alongside a collaborative and down-to-earth department

👀 What we’re looking for:

  • UK QTS (or working towards it)
  • A passion for English that’s genuinely infectious
  • Strong classroom presence, with a calm and confident approach
  • Someone who cares about progress, not perfection

💡 Why this role stands out:

  • Supportive SLT who actually support
  • Shared planning and reduced workload where possible
  • A school that respects your time and your craft
  • Opportunities to grow, whether you’re just starting out or ready for your next step

🤝 What you’ll get with Protocol Education:

  • Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella faff 💷
  • FREE access to our CPD Academy 📚
  • A consultant who actually listens (and gets things done)
  • Roles that match your style, not just your CV

📩 Fancy it?

If you’re looking for a role that makes Mondays feel a bit more manageable, and lessons feel a lot more rewarding, let’s chat.

Drop us a message or apply today, this one won’t hang around for long 👀
