Head of Modern Foreign Languages

Please submit applications via recruitment@fsmschool.com

For September 2024, Forres Sandle Manor seeks to appoint an individual who is an enthusiastic and innovative teacher, with energy and drive.

We are looking for an inspirational, dedicated and caring teacher who has the required experience to lead our MFL faculty.  Following the retirement of the current postholder after 22 years at FSM, we are now looking for an individual who will take overall responsibility for the delivery of Modern Foreign Languages for pupils across the school. 

The primary teaching responsibility will be to deliver French to pupils up to GCSE, but the ability to teach a second language or another subject would be an advantage. We currently offer both French and Spanish up to GCSE but we would be willing to consider introducing another language to support the development of the faculty.

 A willingness to contribute to the wide co-curricular and community activity of a lively day and boarding school situated in this beautiful part of the UK is essential. 

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to join our small, friendly and caring community of staff and students and enjoy teaching small classes (currently averaging 13) of polite, respectful and hardworking students as well as benefiting from terms and conditions which include a maximum of 83% directed teaching time and over 16 weeks holiday per year.

We do not require the postholder to participate in boarding duties, however there is the possibility of providing accommodation for those whose circumstances would suit living on-site in return for some boarding duties.

Closing date for applications is 12 noon on 17th April.

Salary: Competitive and dependent upon skills and experience.

We are committed to the safeguarding of children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment. All applicants will be subject to pre-employment screening, which includes an enhanced DBS and reference check prior to appointment.
