St John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School · Rochester, South East
TEACHER OF LANGUAGES (French and Latin) – MPS/UPS
Full time, or part time (0.6) negotiable. We welcome applications from agencies.
The Governing Board is seeking to appoint
an enthusiastic and well-qualified teacher of Languages to join the school from
September 2026. The successful candidate will be a French specialist. French is
currently taught across Key Stages 3 and 4; Latin is taught at Key Stage 3 and
Key Stage 4. The ability to teach both subjects, while not essential, is highly
desirable. Because we are looking to expand our languages curriculum to include
Key Stage 5 French in the near future, the ability to deliver French to A Level
standard will be an advantage.
The successful
candidate will model at least good teaching practice and will be able to engage
and inspire students of all abilities both in and out of lessons. They will
also be keen to contribute to the school’s extra-curricular life to enhance the
opportunities available to our students. A bespoke CPD programme will be
tailored to meeting their needs.
