At Stanchester Academy we aim to provide a rich and varied education for all of our students. We believe that ensuring students realise their full potential depends upon a continuous drive for excellence by our staff.

We are seeking an accomplished teacher to teach Spanish, but be looking for a new challenge. You will need to be a reflective practitioner with either the experience, or the raw aptitude and determination to teach Spanish from Years 7 to 11.

You might already have some experience of leading a whole school initiative or mentoring/coaching colleagues and be looking to gain some leadership experience in a school that is in the pursuit of excellence.

You will need to have the ability to inspire and develop both staff and students in order to raise standards and maximise potential.

What we offer:

• A Trust wide leadership competencies framework
• A professional leadership development coach
• Personalised professional development supported by an exceptional team within the Academy and driven through The Continual Professional Growth Policy which replaces appraisal and pay progression
• Employee Rewards scheme – High Street discounts, Staff Wellbeing centre

Please note, although we are ideally looking for a full-time colleague, we are open to discussing flexible working options
