English Teacher
M1- M6 £32,916- £45,352
Fixed Term, temporary
Required to start as soon as possible.
 
The Woodlands EHN Team is seeking to appoint a qualified English Teacher (QTS) to deliver high quality English teaching to Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 pupils who are medically too unwell to attend their mainstream school, as well as those receiving education other than at school (EOTAS).

The successful candidate will be based at The Pines in Sacriston, but will also be required to work across all Woodlands sites, as well as in pupils’ homes and Durham County Council buildings across County Durham.

The Pines provides short term education for pupils who are receiving treatment or recovering from medical needs, including both mental health and physical health conditions. The cohort is fluid, with many pupils reintegrating back into their mainstream setting. The role therefore requires a nurturing approach, with a strong focus on supporting pupils’ mental health, wellbeing, confidence and readiness to learn.
 
The ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post. 
 
We welcome informal discussions about the role.
Please contact Danielle James at: contactehn@woodlandsdurham.net
 
Visits to the provision are welcomed.
 
Applications should be submitted to:
d.armstrong149@woodlandsdurham.net  by Sunday 26th April 2026.
 
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and, if successful, you will need to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.
 
As a disability confident employer, we are committed to employing disabled people and people with health conditions making reasonable adjustments to support disabled applicants when required.
 
Closing date for applications is 26th April 2026
Interview date: TBC
