This is an exciting opportunity for a well-qualified, enthusiastic and inspiring Teacher of Modern Languages to join a friendly and high-achieving department. Ideally you will be a dual linguist able to teach French to A Level, it would be advantageous if you could also teach Spanish to Key Stage 3 or above.

You will be a self-motivated, innovative and outward-looking subject teacher whose main interest will be to design creative and exciting lessons to deliver the Modern Languages curriculum – but who will also play a full part in departmental projects and potentially lead visits. It is expected that the successful applicant will be able to engage and enthuse pupils across the ability range in all Key Stages, whilst also being able to stretch the most able Sixth Form pupils who are en route to Oxbridge or similar destinations.
