Teacher of Arabic

We are looking to recruit an ambitious and dynamic teacher of Arabic to join our MFL team and be a part of our multicultural school community. You will be passionate about your subject and be able to work independently as well as contributing to the whole department. In addition, you will build positive relationships and inspire students of all abilities to reach their full potential. You will teach across KS4, preparing your classes for their GCSE Arabic exams, so experience delivering the Edexcel GCSE Arabic specification would be an advantage. 

Fir Vale School is an over-subscribed 11 – 16 school, providing for an ethnically diverse student population in a state-of-the-art learning environment. We have a highly supportive community, and involvement in the wider life of our school will be essential: 

• It is an occupational requirement that the post holder speaks Arabic in order to support Arabic speaking students for whom English is not their first language.  This post is exempt under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1.

• Arabic speaking candidates only need apply under schedule 9 (Part 1) of the Equality Act 2010. 

The Teacher would: 

• Work with the Head of Languages to deliver the Edexcel GCSE Arabic course to 14 – 16 year olds.

• Work with the Head of Languages to re-design and evaluate the KS4 Arabic curriculum.

• Plan and deliver high quality lessons to all Arabic students.

• Work with the Head of Languages to accurately assess all GCSE Arabic classes

• Be fluent in both Arabic and English. 

• Educate 11-16 year olds in Arabic culture and experiences

 Part- time hours would include:

Teaching hours and time for planning and assessment.

If Arabic cultural or enrichment activities take place outside of these working hours, these would be paid at an hourly rate  

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to complete a Disclosure Barring Service form in line with Section 115 of the Police Act 1997.
