English Teacher
MPS M1-M6 (£32,916- £45,352)
One Year Temporary Contract, full time.
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 ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.
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.
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 7th June 2026.
This post is not open to job share.
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.
