TEACHER OF MFL

Salary: MPS/UPS

Contract: Permanent. Full time

Suitable for ECT’s

Start date: September 2026

Place of work: Hinchingbrooke School, Huntingdon

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational and highly effective linguist with Spanish to join our Modern Foreign Languages department. The ability to teach French in addition to Spanish is highly desirable but not essential.

MFL has been a core subject since September 2021 and French and Spanish are taught throughout the 11 - 18 age range and at all levels and ability. KS3 has a varied and engaging curriculum which gives both breadth and depth opportunities. At KS4 and KS5, we follow the AQA specification. We are a collaborative department with experienced teachers and exceptional FLAs, keen to bring authenticity to the learning environment.

The successful candidate will be a team player, who will instil a passion for MFL through high-quality teaching and learning and have proven success in terms of examination results. The school offers a bespoke CPD programme, research and development, links and networks with other outstanding schools as well as a plethora of extra-curricular and cross-curricular working opportunities.

The school sees the form tutor as a key role in the support, development and welfare of the students and it is hoped that teachers undertake this role with the same standards and commitment as their subject role.

Why come to Hinchingbrooke?

This is a fantastic school to work in: on interview, we ask candidates for their impressions of the School and without fail they comment on how wonderful our students are, the positive team ethos amongst staff and how friendly and welcoming the School is.

We also offer:

• An excellent programme of teacher CPD
• As a big school, regular opportunities come up both pastoral and within departments for promotion as we are a school keen to "grow our own" leaders
• Free on-site parking and free membership of our on-site leisure facilities
• Plenty of career opportunities for ambitious teachers - we are a large school in a forward-looking Multi-Academy Trust

If you are an outstanding teacher, it really is worth applying for this post and joining somewhere special. We are seeking to appoint a candidate who is passionate about their subject area; a team player who will thrive on collaboration and teamwork. Someone who really wants to make a difference!
