Are you an organised, highly skilled and passionate Teacher of MFL able to teach French or German?  Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to work within a highly skilled department with excellent facilities?

Our language department currently offers French, German and Mandarin and we are looking to increase our offering to include Spanish in coming years.

You’ll need to impress us from the outset so please do not apply if you’re not prepared to invest in your application. It’s a competitive market out there and we want to know what it is that makes you the one we should invest in. Detail your successes in your covering letter and get us excited about you.

We are not accepting applications from employment agencies for this position but would be delighted to receive a direct application.
