Teacher of Spanish

About the role

Do you have a real passion and enthusiasm for teaching Spanish?

Are you able to enthuse and motivate students to bring out the best in them?

We are looking to appoint an inspirational, pioneering and entrepreneurial Teacher of Spanish who will be part of an innovative and forward-thinking team. We offer French and Spanish to students from KS3 to KS5 and the successful person will be able to demonstrate a commitment to maintaining the high standards set within the school and have the ability to bring out the best in every student. We want to recruit the very best teachers who can consistently teach good or outstanding lessons.

What we are looking for:

Someone who is forward thinking and capable of inspiring students through their passion for languages

The ability to offer French as a second language is desirable but not essential

An individual who can turn ideas and opportunities into success

Applications are welcome from ECTs, from more experienced colleagues who are looking for a change or someone considering returning to teaching where you will be fully supported

A willingness to teach languages across the Multi Academy Trust for 4 hours per week to strengthen effective language transition to KS3 would be desirable.
