Job Description
Looking to build classroom experience as an English Academic Coach before teacher training?
Use your subject knowledge to sharpen reading, writing and analysis for KS3–KS4 pupils.
*** English Academic Coach
*** Immediate start until July 2026
*** £81 - £101 per day
*** ‘Good’ secondary school, Edgbaston
*** Academic support across the KS3 & KS4 English curriculum
What you’ll do:
Work alongside the English team to deliver precise intervention. You’ll run short, high-impact groups, provide 1:1 tutoring, and support exam craft—comprehension, comparison, language and structure, and extended responses. You’ll create lean resources, model planning and paragraphing, and keep tight progress notes so next steps are clear.
Who you are:
A clear communicator who can break complex ideas into simple, memorable steps. You’re organised, responsive to feedback, and able to keep sessions brisk and purposeful without losing rapport.
Requirements
- Degree – 2:2 or above in any subject.
- Communication – Strong verbal and written skills.
- Enhanced DBS – Held already or willingness to obtain.
- Desire to work in education/with children – Real interest in literacy and pupil progress.
- Experience working with children – Any relevant experience (tutoring, mentoring, volunteering) is desirable but not essential.
The School:
This ‘Good’ Edgbaston secondary serves a diverse intake and runs calm corridors with clear, consistent behaviour routines. English is a well-led department with shared schemes of learning, model answers, and banked retrieval activities that make intervention efficient. Regular low-stakes assessment informs next teaching steps, and protected intervention slots mean your sessions aren’t squeezed. You’ll receive a structured induction, fortnightly coaching with actionable feedback, and access to quality revision materials and exam scripts—ideal conditions to build your toolkit and evidence impact ahead of ITT.
How to Apply
Send your CV, noting availability and DBS status (add two referees if possible). Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a brief phone screen and an in-school interview/observation. Early applications are encouraged, as the school may appoint before the closing date.
Due to the volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
