2IC English - Redbridge September 2026 start or earlier I am working closely with a well regarded secondary school in Redbridge that is seeking a passionate and ambitious 2IC of English. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced English teacher ready to take the next step in leadership, or an existing second in department looking to grow within a supportive and forward thinking team. A September 2026 start is planned, though the school is open to an earlier appointment for the right person. The English department is a real strength of the school, with a collaborative culture and a strong focus on curriculum quality, literacy, and outcomes for all pupils. You will work alongside an established Head of English, contributing to curriculum development, staff mentoring, and the strategic direction of the department, while still maintaining a meaningful classroom presence. The school is looking for someone who combines strong subject knowledge with the ability to inspire both pupils and colleagues. You will be reflective, organised, and confident in supporting teaching and learning across the department, with a clear commitment to inclusive practice and high expectations. In return, the school offers a supportive senior leadership team, clear pathways for progression, and a positive staff culture where professional development is taken seriously. If you are looking for a role that balances leadership responsibility with the joy of teaching English, this is well worth a conversation.
