Secondary English Teacher (Maternity Cover)

We wish to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic full-time English Teacher for a maternity cover starting in November 2026.

Jeannine Manuel School is an English/French bilingual school, situated in Bloomsbury, whose mission is to promote international understanding through a bilingual education. The school is a leader in pedagogical innovation, and is committed to the continuous professional development of its staff.

At KS5 our students sit either the International Baccalaureate (IB) or the French International Baccalaureate (BFI). At KS4 all students sit Cambridge IGCSE in both Language and Literature. At KS3 the school has designed its own English curriculum.

While prior experience of teaching any of the above courses would be welcome, commitment, initiative and a genuine enthusiasm for teaching English across all key stages are the primary characteristics we are seeking.

This is an opportunity to join a friendly, creative and collaborative department. We are looking to appoint an inspiring classroom teacher with excellent subject knowledge.

Fostering an enjoyment of the subject through extra-curricular enrichment is of central importance to our work and we welcome applications from teachers who share this ethos.

Applicants currently working within the UK education system or those teaching in the international school sector might be equally suited to this post.

In addition to competitive salaries and pay progression, Jeannine Manuel School offers a generous benefits package which includes:

• Access to extensive professional development opportunities
• Access to a Private Medical Insurance (80% cost cover by the School)
• Generous pension schemes
• Free Income Protection and Life Cover
• Travel Card Loan
• Access to Gym Membership Subsidy
• Tech Scheme and Cycle Scheme

Bursaries are available for the children of teachers employed by the School.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Applicants must undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
