About the role:
We are looking to appoint a teacher of French to cover a maternity leave for the 2024-2025 academic year. In the first instance, this is a fixed term contract, but we have a good track record in temporary contracts being made permanent. We also have an excellent reputation for professional development and you may therefore want to secure this position to support you through your first year as an early career teacher, although those with experience may also wish to apply.
Managing the well-being and workload of staff is something taken extremely seriously by the Principal, having taken steps to reduce unnecessary burdens and bureaucracy. These actions were rated highly in the most recent staff survey, which takes place on annual basis. Staff describe Hathershaw as “a great place to work”.
