If you share our school values of kindness, curiosity, and resilience, and are excited to contribute to a vibrant and ambitious learning community, we would love to hear from you.

This is an exciting opportunity to teach languages in a school with an ambitious curriculum and a senior leadership team who truly value the importance of language learning for children.

Due to the relocation of the current post holder, we are looking for a Teacher of Languages who is knowledgeable, inspirational, has great enthusiasm for the subject, and is ambitious for excellent results. Given the flexibilities within our curriculum we are able to offer to either a Teacher of Mandarin or Spanish.

The successful candidate will be a research-informed practitioner with a proven record of raising attainment for students. The post will offer excellent opportunities for development within a trust at the start of a new five-year strategy. You will be joining an experienced, loyal, highly skilled and effective team of staff with great ambition and enthusiasm for learning language within a school with a supportive senior leadership team who value the importance of languages within our Trust international principle.

A full handover with the current post holder will support a successful transition. Ideally the successful candidate would teach Spanish and / or Mandarin to GCSE.

If you believe in shaping resilient learners, sparking curiosity, and promoting kindness in every classroom interaction, we would be delighted to receive your application.
