Join Our Team at East Durham College

At East Durham College, we are always keen to hear from talented and enthusiastic English teachers who are passionate about helping learners achieve their full potential. As a result, we may keep this vacancy open as a rolling opportunity and invite applications throughout the year to support both current and future staffing requirements.

Eligible teachers may also benefit from the Government's Targeted Retention Incentive (TRI) Scheme, which provides tax-free retention payments to qualifying early career teachers in eligible subjects and locations. Applicants are encouraged to check the latest eligibility criteria on the Department for Education website.

Note: The Targeted Retention Incentive is primarily aimed at eligible early career teachers in schools. Before including it in the advert, it would be worth checking whether the payment applies to your specific FE teaching post, as most FE roles are not currently covered by the scheme. A safer alternative would be to reference "Government-funded teaching incentives where applicable" unless you've confirmed eligibility.
