Tough setting. Real relationships. Tangible progress.
If you’re looking for a role where your teaching genuinely changes lives—and you’re not afraid of a challenge—this could be it.
We’re looking for a qualified English Teacher (PGCE/QTS/QTLS) to work with young men at HMYOI Feltham. Some learners are working at Level 3, and they’re keen to push higher—so we’re after someone confident delivering English from Entry Level to Level 3, with the flexibility to support a range of ability levels, including high-attaining learners.
You’ll be part of a passionate education team delivering lessons that build literacy, self-belief and future potential. Alongside teaching, you’ll have generous non-contact time, planning periods, and a flexible timetable—with PPA and admin time built into your week.
What the job looks like:
Yes, it’s a secure setting—but it’s also a safe one. Staff carry alarms, there’s a dedicated Ops Manager and officers patrolling, and a fast-response system if anything ever escalates. Classrooms are well-managed, with strategies for learners who need a moment out—there’s even a spare room for that reset moment when needed.
