At OFG, we work smarter so you can spend more time doing what makes you happy!
Position: English Teacher
Location: Dibden Park School, Southampton, SO45 5TD
Salary: Up to £45,352.00 per annum (dependant on experience, not pro rata)
Hours: 40 hours per week | Monday to Friday | 8.30am - 4.30pm
Contract: Permanent | Term Time Only
Start: February 2026
UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.
All candidates must have a full UK Driving Licence
At Outcomes First Group, we believe life is about more than work. That’s why many of our schools are trialling a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW)—work one day less each week while keeping full pay. Now’s the perfect time to join #teamOFG and put your wellbeing first.
About the Role
This is not a “stand at the front and deliver” role. As an English Teacher at Dibden Park School, you’ll be working with students who need creativity, patience, and flexibility to thrive. Every day is different — one moment you might be unlocking a student’s confidence through reading or discussion, the next you’ll be adapting learning to meet emotional, behavioural, or communication needs.
You’ll deliver high-quality English teaching while helping students develop independence, resilience, and self-belief. Working as part of a close-knit, multi-professional team, you’ll help create a learning environment where students feel safe, understood, and motivated to succeed.
What You’ll Be Doing
Designing and delivering engaging, flexible English lessons for individuals and small groups
Adapting teaching approaches to meet individual learning, behavioural, and emotional needs
Tracking progress and celebrating achievements, both big and small
Helping shape learning environments that are structured, stimulating, and supportive
Working alongside Learning Support Assistants and care staff to ensure learning is consistent and meaningful
Contributing ideas and energy to the wider life of the school and its ongoing development
Supporting students to develop self-regulation and confidence, particularly when behaviour is challenging
Ensuring students are safe and supported during both on-site learning and off-site activities
About You
We are looking for a teacher who is:
Qualified to teach English (QTS or equivalent), with a genuine passion for inspiring and motivating students
Skilled in planning and delivering engaging lessons
Confident in monitoring progress and implementing individualised strategies
Able to work collaboratively within a multi-professional team
Flexible and proactive, with the ability to adapt teaching to meet diverse student needs
This role is perfect for someone who wants to make a tangible difference, work in a supportive and ambitious school, and be rewarded for their impact with a welcome bonus and career development opportunities.
