Second in Charge - French Teacher job summary
Michaela Community School is an exciting and successful free school that opened in September 2014 and is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The ambition of our vibrant and energetic team is to transform the lives of all children, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Many of us are Teach First Ambassadors. Some of us are not. All of us want to change the world by showing that a child’s home circumstances don’t have to be a barrier to success.
We have some of the best GCSE results in the country with over half of our exams graded 7 or above. We opened our highly academic Sixth Form in 2019 and our intention is for most of our students to go to a Russell Group university.
We are looking for a French Teacher who will have the responsibility of being Second in Charge of the department. We seek someone with a lot of personality, someone who wants to own their classroom and have vibrant and authentic relationships with their students. We want teachers who are conscientious, enjoy being with teenagers, and love to see students’ success. Our students work hard in lessons and at home, driven by their teachers’ ambitious expectations of them. Our excellent behaviour systems allow teachers to be themselves, and be as innovative as they like. The French department is open-minded and rigorous, always looking for ways to improve.
You will get the chance to really think about what makes for great teaching. You will also become a better teacher…even if you think you are an ‘old hand’! Our behaviour systems are so consistently well-managed that, instead of worrying about low-level disruption, you are able to try out what works best for the students you are teaching. The relationships you can forge with students, and the learning you can foster in your classroom, are exceptional.
There will be a lot of opportunities for promotion, and we invest in the development of our people. If you have heard of Michaela and feel a little intimidated, don’t be! There are a variety of people who teach here, all of them friendly and welcoming. We would love to hear from you.
