Teacher of French job summary
Required from September 2022, a French teacher to teach at GCSE and A Level.
We are seeking to appoint an inspirational and enthusiastic teacher for our highly successful and dedicated MFL department that received excellent feedback following our recent OFSTED inspection in December 2021. We are looking for a candidate who is ambitious, creative and an exceptional classroom practitioner with the ability to teach French to Key Stage 5 and desirably Spanish to Key Stage 3. This opportunity is open to experienced qualified teachers and early career teachers.
As a department, we strive to instil in students our ethos of language learning; to develop the habits of a good linguist, step outside their comfort zone and demonstrate a “have a go” attitude. We are searching for someone who is able to enthuse our students with their knowledge of the cultural aspects of learning a language, and broaden their horizons about the culture of French and Spanish speaking countries.
The successful candidate will work with a team committed to delivering a stimulating curriculum and maximising the potential of all learners through outstanding teaching and learning. Candidates will also benefit from a quality CPD programme and ongoing opportunities for development.
Commitment to safeguarding
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to have an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check (formerly CRB) in line with the Governments safer recruitment guidelines.
Ferndown Upper School values the diversity of our workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
This role is UK based and your Right to Work will need to be established as part of the appointment process.
The school will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates.
