Head of MFL job summary
The Governors are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, energetic, enthusiastic and inspirational leader, with a real passion for languages, to take on the leadership responsibility of this thriving department that teaches French as its core language.
Worden is a small but oversubscribed school and this position would suit an experienced leader looking for a new challenge as well as one looking for their first head of department position.
The successful candidate will speak French as a first language and have the ability to offer another language up to KS4.
