Job overview
Radley College is looking for an energetic Teacher of French to join the Modern Languages department. The position may suit an experienced professional, an ECT or a recent graduate who is keen to develop skills in the classroom on a reduced timetable. This is an exciting opportunity to join a successful, innovative department within a friendly and collegiate school community.
We have an increasingly diverse pupil intake and are looking to increase diversity within our Common Room. We therefore welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Some of our staff joined Radley straight from university, others after gaining a PGCE. Some have taught in independent schools, others have not – and some had not taught before. For some, teaching has become their second (or third) career. There are opportunities for those without a teaching qualification to gain a PGCE during their time at Radley.
Are you looking for the next step in your career? Your first step into teaching? Not sure the independent sector is for you? For an informal chat about the role, please contact the Head of Modern Languages, Ollie Astley(oja.astley@radley.org.uk).
Deadline for applications is 1 pm on Thursday 9 May 2024. Suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date, and we reserve the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply early. Interviews will take place on Monday 13 May 2024.
Radley College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
