Teacher / Aspire Centre @ The Link Academy

Dudley Academies Trust are seeking an English Teacher to join the team at the Aspire Centre, based at the Link Academy. You will deliver engaging, high-quality lessons, adapt teaching to meet individual needs, and create a positive, inclusive learning environment. Working collaboratively with colleagues, you will help learners develop confidence, communication skills, and a love of English. We welcome applications from passionate educators who are committed to raising achievement and making a real difference to young people's lives.

Join our supportive team and help shape successful futures. The working pattern for this role is Tuesday and Wednesday, 13 hours per week.

We have recruited numerous, excellent staff to our academies and made some outstanding appointments to their leadership teams. We have introduced a proven system of rewards and behaviour management that has changed the culture of our classrooms, accompanied by a raft of new approaches to teaching.

An inspiring curriculum offers a rich variety of subjects with strong emphasis on basic skills in English and Mathematics and the digital technologies that are now so important. Over £15 million has already been invested in improving the buildings, facilities and computing equipment of our academies, and much more is being spent this year. Closing date for this role is Friday 25th September 2026 - we reserve the right to close this vacancy earlier than the date advertised.
