Language Assistant – French - Part-time, 6 hours/week Term Time Only
Fixed Term from 1 September 2017 – 31 May 2018
£439.50 per month
Speaking languages is a key part of the examination process and so the role of the Language Assistant is vital to the students’ development and progress.
The salary for this position will be £439.50 per month, based on 6 hours per week, term time only. These hours are likely to be spread across 2 days to allow students more flexibility with their timetables, especially in the run up to exams. The days and times of your working hours will be as agreed with your manager, in line with the department needs. Flexibility will therefore be required.
The Language and Humanities Faculty is managed by the Head of Faculty, along with Course Leaders who have responsibility for individual curriculum areas.
The teaching of Modern Languages is supported by a wealth of high quality resource material and the department works closely as a team. The subjects are currently delivered in a suite of teaching rooms with networked PC access and electronic whiteboard facilities in every room. There is a well-equipped language laboratory which is used by all students weekly.
Should you be successful at the shortlisting stage you will be invited to interview on Monday 3rd July 2017 and we would aim to contact you by the end of Tuesday 27th June. Part of the interview process will involve you engaging 4-5 students of A Level French in a 10-15 minute speaking session on a topic of your choice related to French Youth Culture. You will be expected to deliver this in the target language and encourage students to speak in French during the session.
We are a Sixth Form College with a diverse student community. 25% of our current students are from black or minority ethnic backgrounds and we are committed to constantly adapting to meet their needs. We expect the successful candidate to have a commitment to high standards and hard work to support the curriculum in securing high quality outcomes for all students, and be able to interact effectively with students of different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates as they are under-represented within our staff.
The College is committed to the Children's Act and all successful appointments will be subject to Barred List and DBS clearance (formerly CRB).
This vacancy is only open to candidates who are eligible/have the right to work in the UK. Original documentation will be required as evidence.

Introduction from David Shaw, Principal
I’m delighted that you’ve expressed an interest in Bilborough College.
Bilborough is a flourishing college with strong student outcomes, fantastic enrichment and development opportunities, and an innovative and creative teaching and learning culture. We are located between Nottingham and Derby in our bright, modern and well-equipped, purpose-built college campus. As a result of its excellent reputation, student numbers have grown by 300 in the last 3 years and the college is expecting to be at a maximum of 2165 students from September 2024.
We are extremely proud that following our latest Ofsted inspection in November 2023, Ofsted rated the college 'Outstanding' for student behaviour and attitudes' and 'Good' for 'Overall effectiveness.' The college was praised for fostering a "nurturing and aspirational culture in which students, from many different backgrounds, flourish together" and benefit from "a vibrant, purposeful environment and the diverse and positive culture." Students described themselves as "extremely proud to be Bilborough students."
At Bilborough personal growth and skills development are highly valued alongside the academic achievements of our students. Our mission is to ‘to develop confident, curious, happy students, ready to change the world for the better’. Alongside good and outstanding teaching, the experience of being a student here involves a wide range of enrichment opportunities, including sport, foreign exchange visits, direct involvement in running and managing College events and much, much more. We believe that all of this – underpinned by strong support services, positive and productive staff student relationships and a genuine sense of community – provides an environment where students are able to develop as individuals, personally and academically, in line with their particular talents and abilities. Every member of staff, whatever their role, has a vital part to play in creating that environment by putting our values into practice. Our mantra for students of, “Be who you are, become who you want to be” exemplifies our inclusive and ambitious culture.
We attribute our success to our committed and talented staff team. At Bilborough, expert teachers, specialist ‘Skills and Progression’ teachers and support staff work together to provide a purposeful learning environment where students can be themselves, are treated as responsible individuals and given the support and challenge they need. We provide a relevant, broad and rich curriculum so that our students can reach their full academic and wider potential while developing the independence, resilience and awareness necessary for success as responsible global citizens.
Bilborough College became a 16-19 Academy and joined the Better Futures Multi-Academy Trust (BF MAT) in November 2019. We joined King Edward VI College, Nuneaton, as a founding member and Gateway College in Leicester joined in 2020, creating a powerful centre of 16-19 educational expertise. The vision of the MAT, sponsored by Coventry University, is to become a national hub for excellence in 16-19 education. Staff and students at Bilborough College are already benefiting from working as part of a MAT and we see many opportunities for exciting developments as we work in partnership.
We are ambitious college, with a clear strategy for further development. Personal development and growth is at the heart of what we seek to do for both students and staff and we value people who are positive, open and reflective with a growth mindset. Staff, students and visitors often comment on the positive college environment and the strong sense of community that permeates the organisation.
Best wishes
David Shaw
Principal
