An excellent education for every child, in every classroom, every day.

Lift Greenwood is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated Teacher of Spanish to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate teacher to inspire students and promote a love of languages and cultures.

At Lift Greenwood, we believe learning a foreign language broadens students' understanding of the world, builds confidence and communication skills, and opens doors to future opportunities.

The successful candidate will teach Spanish across Key Stages 3 and 4, delivering engaging and inclusive lessons that develop students' reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.

Students at KS3 build strong foundations in grammar, phonics and communication skills, whilst KS4 students follow the AQA GCSE curriculum, covering a range of real-world and cultural topics including relationships, healthy living, travel, festivals, technology and the environment.

We are looking for someone who:

* Has a passion for Spanish and language learning * Can inspire and motivate students of all abilities * Has high expectations for achievement and behaviour * Creates a positive and engaging classroom environment * Is committed to delivering high-quality teaching and learning

You will be joining an experienced and forward-thinking Spanish team, led by an experienced Head of Spanish and supported by a Lead Practitioner. The department is actively engaged in developing trainee teachers and is committed to enriching students' experiences beyond the classroom, including the planned return of international trips to Spain.

What You'll Need to Succeed

You will have experience delivering a broad and balanced curriculum and creating a positive, inclusive learning environment where all students feel supported and motivated to achieve their full potential. You will be confident in planning and delivering engaging lessons, assessing student progress effectively, and providing high-quality feedback that raises standards and outcomes.

You will also work collaboratively with teaching and pastoral staff, as well as parents, to support students' personal development, respond to individual needs, and promote a culture of inclusion, ambition, and high expectations.
