English Teacher – Liverpool & Merseyside

Location: Liverpool & Merseyside
Pay: £150–£230 per day
Contract: Day-to-day, short-term and long-term supply, with potential to become permanent
Start Date: ASAP

Great English teachers don't just teach literature and language – they inspire confidence, encourage creativity and help young people find their voice.

TeacherActive are looking for passionate, reliable and adaptable English Teachers to work across our growing network of Secondary Schools throughout Liverpool, The Wirral and Merseyside.

Whether you're an experienced English Teacher looking for greater flexibility, an ECT wanting to develop your classroom experience, or simply looking for a better work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.

We work closely with Secondary Schools across Merseyside, providing everything from day-to-day supply cover to long-term teaching placements and potential permanent opportunities.

What could English supply teaching look like for you?

It might mean choosing the days you want to work while enjoying the variety of teaching English in different schools.

It could mean finding a regular school where you become part of the English department, delivering engaging lessons in literature, language and creative writing.

Or it could be the first step towards securing your next permanent English teaching position.

The important thing is that we'll listen to what you're looking for and try to find work that genuinely suits you.

We're looking for English Teachers who:

• Hold QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification

• Have experience teaching English Language and English Literature across KS3 and KS4

• Are confident delivering engaging and inspiring English lessons

• Can support pupils with reading, writing, literacy and exam preparation

• Can quickly establish positive relationships with pupils and staff

• Have strong classroom and behaviour management skills

• Are adaptable, reliable and professional

• Put children at the heart of their teaching

Both ECTs and experienced English Teachers are warmly encouraged to apply.
