Teacher of Spanish

If you are teacher of Modern Languages who is keen to share your love of Spanish (and French if possible), this is an exciting opportunity to join a highly successful MFL Department and develop your career in a warm and lively community in the heart of Brighton. Applications are welcomed from recent graduates and experienced teachers (either within the profession or looking to return)

As part of a team which is committed to building a love and enthusiasm for language learning, you will be a Spanish specialist teaching Spanish at KS3 and KS4, with, ideally, the ability to teach French at KS3. The pupils you will teach are committed and determined to achieve the highest standards and this is reflected in their exam results.

There will also be opportunities to deliver specialist language teaching to Years 5 and 6 in the Prep School.

If you want to play a key role in shaping and delivering the department's plans to expand and are passionate about inspiring students to develop a global mindset through learning languages, we would be delighted to hear from you.
