What skills and experience we're looking for

We are excited to offer an outstanding opportunity to join our dynamic Modern Languages Faculty, made up of three passionate and skilled teachers. We are looking for a specialist in Spanish and French or German.

The successful candidate will be a dedicated and enthusiastic language teacher. This is a pivotal time for the faculty, with fresh energy, a renewed sense of direction, and a shared ambition to grow and excel. We are building a vibrant, motivated team focused on delivering high-quality teaching and learning. The successful candidate will play a key role in shaping the future of modern languages in our school and inspiring a love of languages in our students.

The faculty delivers both GCSE and A Level courses and has a strong commitment to academic success, cultural enrichment, and student engagement. We aim to foster confident, curious linguists who are well-prepared for further study and the global workplace.

This is a fantastic time to join us. Under new and inspiring leadership, we are reviewing and refreshing our curriculum, pedagogy, and enrichment offer. We are collaborative, open to innovation, and keen to make our faculty a centre of excellence within the school.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real impact, contribute to an ambitious vision, and grow alongside a team that is going places – we would love to hear from you.

Join us in shaping the future of language learning.

We welcome applications from experienced teachers and ECTs alike.
