Are you a qualified English Teacher looking for a full-time teaching position in South Birmingham or Solihull? Aspire People is looking to connect with English specialists who are available five days per week and interested in consistent, longer-term teaching assignments across secondary schools in Hall Green, Acocks Green, Shirley, Solihull, Kings Heath, Moseley and surrounding areas.
We are particularly interested in teachers who want the stability of a full teaching timetable, the opportunity to build relationships with pupils and the chance to contribute to an established English department. Whether you're an experienced teacher considering your next move or an Early Career Teacher looking to develop your experience, we'd like to hear from you.
THE OPPORTUNITIES
We are building our network of qualified English Teachers for future full-time and longer-term secondary school assignments from November 2026 onwards. Depending on the placement, responsibilities may include:
- Delivering English Language and Literature lessons across KS3 and KS4.
- Supporting GCSE pupils with examination preparation, analytical writing and reading comprehension.
- Taking responsibility for a full teaching timetable, typically Monday to Friday.
- Planning and delivering engaging lessons in line with departmental schemes of work.
- Marking, assessing and monitoring pupil progress.
- Establishing positive classroom routines and managing behaviour effectively.
- Adapting lessons to support pupils with SEND and EAL requirements.
- Working collaboratively with teaching colleagues and school leadership.
For longer-term placements, planning, marking and wider departmental responsibilities may form part of the assignment. These are prospective opportunities across secondary schools in South Birmingham and Solihull rather than a confirmed vacancy at one particular school.

- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS.
