TEACHER OF ENGLISH - September 2026

MPS/UPS

The Governing Board is seeking to appoint

an enthusiastic and well-qualified teacher of English to join the Communications

Faculty from September 2026.

The successful

candidate will be an enthusiastic and suitably qualified teacher of English who

is keen to play a proactive, collaborative role in developing the faculty

further in the school. This role is

primarily for teaching English at Key Stages 3 and 4; however, the department

does deliver A Level English Literature and A Level Media, and the successful

candidate may be asked to help teach these in future.

The successful

candidate will model at least good teaching practice and will be able to engage

and inspire students of all abilities both in and out of lessons. They will

also be keen to contribute to the school’s extra-curricular life to enhance the

opportunities available to our students. A bespoke CPD programme will be

tailored to meeting their needs.

St. John Fisher

Catholic Comprehensive School is a non-selective coeducational secondary school

for students age 11-18. A single site school with free parking, we moved to

world-class brand new buildings in the spring of 2023. Our mission statement is

that ‘St. John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School inspires students,

spiritually and educationally forming them through Faith so that they can

achieve their aspirations and contribute to their community’. As a Catholic school, we are passionate about

the formation of the whole student, making sure that we develop students into

good people as well as ensure they get good results.

The school is in Medway, a 30-minute

distance from London by road or high-speed rail link. Medway benefits from a

multimillion-pound regeneration programme bringing new housing developments and

facilities for its inhabitants; it also has the lowest council tax rates in

Kent. St. John Fisher also offers

subsidised accommodation for employees and this will be offered to the

successful candidate, should they be interested.

We are happy to offer visits and

informal discussions of the role: please contact Deputy Headteacher v.walker@stjohnfisher.school for
