What the school offers its staff

We are delighted to offer the opportunity for an inspirational and talented Language specialist to join our incredibly popular department. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate teacher to deliver Languages across the key stages.

Spanish and French are popular choices at RHS and delivered at both GCSE and A-level. The department is one of incredibly high standards and some of the best A-Level Results in the school. We pride ourselves on delivering challenging and engaging lessons where students thrive. Our students are keen and enthusiastic learners, they have enquiring minds and want to excel. We are looking to appoint someone who is passionate about their subject, who has high expectations and who can deliver excellence in the classroom.

The appointed person will be committed to obtaining the best possible outcomes for all students by creating a fully inclusive environment. You will show a willingness and desire to contribute to the extensive co-curricular activities we offer our community and contribute to our whole school ethos of kindness, care and respect, with a particular focus on supporting and enhancing the diversity of our wonderful community. If you feel you have the commitment, enthusiasm and drive to join our very successful department then this could be the right job for you.
