About this role
Unsted Park School & Sixth Form - English Teacher (KS3–KS5)
Unsted Park School & Sixth Form is seeking to recruit an additional outstanding English Teacher to join our committed and collaborative teaching team.
Unsted Park School is set in a beautiful semi‑rural location within 44 acres of surrounding grounds. We are a residential and day SEN school specialising in the education and care of children and young people aged 7–19, all of whom are autistic and may have associated learning differences.
About the Role:
The English Department plays a central role in the school’s ongoing achievement and development. It is a driven, reflective, and cohesive team that consistently strives for the highest standards for both students and staff.
We are seeking a teacher who is passionate about English and committed to helping all learners succeed.

Our commitment to students is that every learner leaves with an English qualification or meaningful accreditation. The department has a strong track record of developing staff and achieving excellent outcomes within a supportive environment.
The post offers the potential to teach across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5, including:
Functional Skills
GCSE English Language and Literature
