Job overview

German Teacher Trainee
Full Time (one year)
Start date August 2026
Apply by June 2026

Dulwich College is seeking strong language graduates, including those looking to change career and native speakers, to train as secondary school German teachers.
Dulwich College is the lead school of the South London Hub of the National Modern Languages SCITT, a school centred, subject specialised teacher training programme designed to help address the acute shortage of Modern Language teachers.

The SCITT approach is different to traditional teacher training in the following ways:
• Trainees on the programme are in school from day one and at the end of the year are awarded both qualified teacher status (QTS) and a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE).
• Trainees gain hands-on experience in the classroom through two contrasting school placements in our partner schools.
• The course is taught by MFL experts and involves training at university and at the SCITT’s Day School at Dulwich College
• Successful applicants will receive a £20,000 tax free bursary (subject to eligibility) for the training year. There are also more generous scholarships of £22,000 available from Languages Teacher Training Scholarships, which can be applied for. Trainees can take out a Student Loan if required to cover the tuition fee of £9,535.
• For trainees who left education some time ago, there are subject knowledge enhancement courses of various lengths available, for which trainees receive an additional bursary for completing.

We are looking for candidates who have the potential to be an outstanding teacher. You must be able to demonstrate extensive subject knowledge in your chosen language or be a native speaker. A good honours degree or a recognised equivalent qualification with a high level of fluency in at least one modern language is needed.

Information about taster days at Dulwich College (comprising lesson observations and an introduction to the course) and the application and selection process can be found on the website or by contacting Catherine Juyol on JuyolC@dulwich.org.uk. The course start date is August 2026.

Applications can be submitted here.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. A DBS Disclosure is required to Enhanced level. Charity 1150064
