An inspirational and suitably qualified teacher of Spanish is required to join this very successful department from February 2023. The successful applicant will be a qualified teacher with either a specialist or MFL related degree.
This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate Spanish teacher to make a genuine difference in the MFL department and to the progress of pupils at King’s. The successful applicant will teach A Level and GCSE Spanish, with a small amount of KS4 French.
