Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified, fluent Spanish speaker to join the Spanish department on a temporary basis (8 January to 28 March 2018).
The core of the job will be to help prepare pupils for their oral examination at the end of March. During these sessions, you will engage pupils in conversation about short newspaper articles based on the themes they have studied or on their personal investigation of a topic related to the Hispanic world (political, historical, literary, etc.). It is important that they feel at ease, speak as much Spanish as possible and be corrected where necessary. The session will take place outside of the pupils’ timetable, during their lunch break, or before or after their sporting commitments.
This is a part-time role working 6 hours per week. The successful candidate should be enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging, and keen to work with our pupils to push them to the highest level. The candidate should preferably have some experience of teaching language, but this is not essential.

About Westminster School
Westminster School is the perfect environment for happy and purposeful pupils. Pupils are intellectually, socially, ethically and politically engaged and our aim is to ensure that their enthusiasm for learning is developed further, allowing them to take full advantage of the opportunities presented to them in the future.
While the School is one of the foremost centres of academic excellence in the country, its commitment to academic life does not make it a hothouse for passing examinations. Pupils’ success at examinations and entry to leading universities is instead a result of their enjoyment of academic enquiry, debate and search for explanation, well beyond published syllabuses. It is important also that pupils have the freedom to lead on projects outside of the classroom and embrace a whole range of extra-curricular activities and interests. A host of pupil-led Societies take place every week at the School and pupils can choose to study an additional language, play an instrument or two, volunteer in the local community, row along the Thames, take part in plays and musicals, and much more.
The School’s ethos resides in the enduring values of the liberal tradition reflected in the 1560 Charter of Westminster’s Elizabethan foundation, where it is stated that: ‘the youth which is growing to manhood, as tender shoots in the wood of our state, shall be liberally instructed in good books to the greater honour of the state’. Whilst academic and cultural attainments are highly prized at Westminster, the School is fully committed also to nurture each pupil’s spiritual, moral, emotional and physical development and wellbeing – with a particular emphasis on drawing out individual talent wherever it lies – and to prepare young people for fulfilled private and public lives.’
