What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a positive and skilled Teacher of German, with either Spanish or French, to deliver the highest level of teaching & learning for our aspirational students. Excellent subject knowledge and the ability to motivate students through inspirational, personalised teaching is essential. The successful applicant should be able to teach German to GCSE (the ability to teach to A Level German is desirable), as well as be able to teach either Spanish or French to KS3.
This is an excellent opportunity for a talented teacher to join a thriving school:
- to work with students who are committed to their learning and passionate about their own further professional development;
- to further enhance an already high functioning department of skilled teachers;
- to work to raise the outcomes for all pupils by inspiring and motivating students and staff alike.
There is also an additional opportunity for colleagues with Pastoral experience to be considered for a current Pastoral vacancy. If you are interested in this additional opportunity, please indicate this within your application form and covering letter which can then be discussed further in interview. This should not deter colleagues from applying who do not wish to be considered for a Pastoral role.
In every way the MFL Department mirrors the aims and beliefs of the school. All staff work hard, supported by a committed leadership team, to provide a safe and encouraging environment for learning.
Applications are welcomed from ECTs and experienced practitioners. Outstanding support is provided for ECTs through our very supportive and structured ECT programme.
The department currently has eight full time members of staff. It has a wealth of experienced teachers who all work well together.
German, Spanish and French are offered through KS3, KS4 and KS5.
