We’re looking for a talented and enthusiastic Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages to join a highly effective and welcoming secondary school community.

This is a fantastic opportunity for either an Early Career Teacher or an experienced practitioner. The successful candidate will be confident teaching French and German at Key Stages 3 and 4, and keen to be part of a department that values curiosity, culture and connection.

The school itself is a high‑performing, inclusive Church of England secondary school, welcoming students and staff of all faiths and none. Staff wellbeing matters here. People are genuinely valued, teamwork is strong, and leadership is supportive and visible. Professional development is taken seriously, with opportunities tailored to individuals at every stage of their career.
