Job Description
English Academic Coach
 
Could this be the school-based role that takes you from graduate support work into a qualified teaching career? Are you looking for a route where you can build confidence in the classroom, support pupils in English, and move towards salaried teacher training?
 
*** English Academic Coach
*** September 2026 – July 2027
*** £85 - £102 per day
*** Unique secondary school, central Birmingham
*** Opportunity to train as an English teacher (salaried route)
 
The Role:
Join the English department in a developmental role designed to build your classroom confidence before teacher training. You will support pupils through 1:1 intervention, small-group academic work, lesson support, and targeted help with reading, writing, analysis, and exam preparation, while learning from experienced staff in a busy secondary setting.
 
The Candidate:
You are articulate, organised, and able to explain ideas clearly in a way pupils understand. You want proper secondary school experience, enjoy helping students improve in English, and see this as a genuine route into teaching rather than just another temporary role.
 
Requirements
• Degree – A 2:2 or above in English, English Literature, Creative Writing, or a related subject.
• Communication – Clear and confident verbal and written communication.
• Enhanced DBS – Must hold or be willing to obtain an Enhanced DBS certificate.
• Desire to work in education/with children – Genuine interest in supporting pupil progress and wellbeing.
• Career Goals – A desire to train as a teacher and build a long-term career in education.
 
The School:
This unique secondary school in central Birmingham offers a strong setting for a graduate who wants to prove themselves in the classroom and then progress. You will work closely with an established English team in a setting that values subject knowledge, purposeful intervention, and future teachers. It is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to develop in school first and then move into a salaried route towards becoming a qualified English teacher.
