What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you a dedicated and highly effective educator committed to raising the achievement of all students within your subject area? Join us as a Teacher, where you will be instrumental in delivering high-quality learning, utilising a range of teaching and learning strategies to ensure student success.
This position requires a professional who is aware of strategies for improving learning, understands curriculum developments, and is creative in finding solutions to enhance student performance.
We are seeking to appoint a passionate and dedicated Modern Foreign Languages Teacher to join our team. The successful candidate will be able to teach Spanish and/or French across a range of key stages, delivering engaging and high-quality lessons that inspire students to develop a love of languages.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated practitioner who is committed to raising achievement and fostering cultural awareness in the classroom. You will play a key role in supporting students to build confidence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in one or both languages.

Required experience includes recent and relevant teaching experience (either in employment or training) and experience of assessment at Key Stage 3 and 4.
The successful candidate will be confident in using standard computer packages (word processing, email, and spreadsheets) and understand how these tools can enhance student learning. The role demands high levels of professionalism, including the ability to relate to students in a pleasant and sympathetic manner, and a capacity to recognise potential child safeguarding issues.
