Detail

Teacher of Modern Languages (Partnerships)

2 Year Fixed Term required from January 2027 or sooner

We have an exceptionally exciting opportunity for an experienced and dynamic Teacher of Modern Languages to join our RGS Partnerships Team. This comes about thanks to very generous and visionary funding from a former student of the school. The role will involve working with students and teachers from local schools to boost attainment and opportunities in Key Stage 3 and 4.

This is a fixed term, 2-year post, with scope to continue beyond 2 years if demonstrable impact leads to continuance of funding. The successful candidate will work alongside our existing team of 10 Partnership teachers across STEM and Sport. We anticipate the role will largely involve working with able and interested GCSE students aiming for top grades. As such, this role is suited to a practitioner with a high level of subject knowledge and experience of teaching at Key Stage 4.

​

We are looking for a talented Modern Languages specialist who can confidently and expertly teach two languages. Ideally, these should be German and French, yet the role could allow for flexibility on this point. Experience of teaching both or all language specialisms should be, in an ideal world, to KS5, although one at least to KS5 and the other(s) to KS4 would offer the strong breadth we are seeking for this important and exciting role.

The expectation is that you will be based at RGS and may take on a small amount of teaching in the school, releasing an existing member of the department to help with outreach activities. The remaining, and majority, of your teaching time will be dedicated to weekly online and in-person teaching. There will also be an expectation that some activities will help to improve the skills of non-specialist Modern Language teachers in partner schools. You would be expected to demonstrate an entrepreneurial flair in making the most of the role.

We are looking for a superstar who can inspire, motivate, and innovate!

The role is fully funded to 0.5 FTE, with the working days being flexible and negotiable. The postholder would be under the guidance and support of the Head of Modern Languages, while directly reporting to the Director of Partnerships.

• Start Date: January 2027 or sooner
