Are you passionate about languages and inspiring the next generation of confident linguists? The King’s School is a warm and welcoming Christian school nestled in a beautiful rural setting. With small class sizes and a focus on all-round education – academic, character, and faith – this is a place where your teaching can truly make a difference.
At The King’s School we provide an environment that challenges and inspires, supported by an outstanding pastoral care team and a collaborative, passionate staff. As a teacher here, you will have the unique opportunity to encourage pupils in their journey of faith, modelling a meaningful relationship with Jesus that is real and relevant.
We’re looking for a patient, caring, and enthusiastic teacher with a love for languages and a commitment to equipping young people with effective linguistic skills. As our MFL Teacher, you will:
- Deliver MFL lessons to classes across Years 7–11, with a maximum of 22 pupils per KS3 class.
- Teach engaging, interactive lessons, that inspire pupils in their language learning.
- Guide GCSE students following the Pearson/Edexcel course, typically 4–10 students per year group. There would be the option to change to the AQA course if that suited the successful candidate.
- Work with an established scheme of work and lesson ideas while having the freedom to shape and expand the curriculum.
- Enjoy 50 min lessons that are the perfect length for engaging pupils in a variety of learning methods.
The role could be full time for a teacher that can offer two languages, or one language part time with flexibility on exact hours/days to suit your schedule. The King’s School has its own pay scale, which is available with the application pack, with contributions to an employer’s pension scheme and healthcare cover available to all staff.
Join us in creating a learning space that equips pupils with language skills, develops their confidence in communication, and inspires their faith journey.
