Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages

Holme Grange is a successful,   traditional Independent School. We are at an exciting stage of our   development, with our school having recently extended our excellent provision   up to GCSE at Year 11. We have innovative, forward thinking staff with an   understanding of how children learn. We are looking for someone to join us,   who is willing to contribute and adapt to our changing and developing school.   

This is a fantastic opportunity   for a talented linguist who will make a significant contribution in the   classroom and bring fresh approaches to teaching MFL across the School.    The successful candidate will have the ability to teach German and either Spanish   or French up to GCSE.  The   successful applicant will be expected to enthuse pupils with energy and   ideas.  Pupils currently study French   from Y2 and Spanish and German are introduced in the early years of the   Senior School with each subject being offered at GCSE.

Our teachers set   high standards of themselves and their pupils. If you are dedicated and   energetic we offer a delightful working environment which is well resourced. Professional   development opportunities are available and encouraged. The position would appeal   equally to a teacher beginning his or her career, or to an experienced   professional seeking a new challenge. 

Strong organisational and   administrative skills with excellent interpersonal and team-working   skills and a strong interest in pastoral care will be needed for this role. A willingness to play   a full part in the extra-curricular and pastoral life of our happy and   vibrant school is essential. Holme Grange has its own salary scale.
