Teacher of MFL

We are seeking to appoint a highly effective French teacher to work within the MFL Learning Area from September 2022 or sooner if appropriate. The ability to teach Spanish is desirable, but not essential. You must be passionate about teaching languages and a team player at heart. You will be focused, resilient and good-humoured, and have experience of teaching French at Key Stage 3 and 4. You should also possess excellent communication skills and a thirst to see all of our learners succeed.

If you were to be successful in your application, you would be joining an Academy which strives for excellence. We benefit from purpose-built accommodation with excellent facilities. All in all, it is a wonderful place to work, learn and worship. Our vision is ‘Lord Direct us to Live Life to the Full’, rooted in John 10:10. Whilst Learning, we are Inspired and develop our Values through Experiences as each member flourishes. We aim to raise aspirations, realise potential and develop well-rounded successful teachers and young people.

As an Academy we benefit from purpose-built accommodation, which we have enhanced further through the development of an immersive classroom space and an iMac suite as well as a new block providing additional classrooms. All students at Key Stage 3 and 4 have a 1:1 mobile device; this is an example of our commitment to use modern technology to maximise learning, whilst maintaining a balance with traditional practice to bring about examination success.

We are looking for a high calibre, enthusiastic and outstanding linguist who wishes to be part of the success story of St Wilfrid’s. You would be joining a forward thinking Academy with an excellent team of staff who, along with fantastic students, inspire each other and all who come to visit. Whatever your current position, we will provide tailored CPD to challenge, grow, equip and prepare you for the next phase of your career.

Although the DfE has closed their Golden Hello scheme, we are offering a similar incentive over a period of two years for an MFL graduate who is new to the profession. A Recruitment and Retention allowance is available for applicants who are more experienced and meet all the criteria of the person specification.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Monday 7th February 2022.

If you require any further information regarding this post, or would like to visit the Academy in action, please contact Mrs K Nightingale, PA to the Principal, via knightingale@saintwilfrids.com who will arrange this.

Please submit the Teaching Staff application form, which can be downloaded from the Academy website, along with a letter of application of not more than two A4 sides detailing how your experiences to date qualify you for the post.
