ALLEYNS SCHOOL DULWICH
We are seeking to appoint a Teacher of German to join our friendly, forward-thinking, enthusiastic, committed and passionate Modern Languages Department.
This is to cover maternity leave from Monday 6 January 2025 for one year. The successful applicant will be expected to teach a number of lessons each timetable cycle equivalent to 0.8 of a full-time teacher. Please note these periods will likely be spread over 4.5 days with Tuesday afternoons kept free.
The successful candidate will also have the necessary qualifications and skills and be confident to teach German to the end of KS4, although an ability to teach it at KS5 would be preferable.
This post could suit either an experienced teacher, someone early in their teaching career (e.g., an ECT) or possibly an aspiring teacher wanting to enter the profession.
Above all, we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and well-qualified, with a real love for Languages and an ability to convey this to pupils, as well as a natural empathy and pastoral instinct. The ability to motivate and inspire (both students and teachers) is vital, as is being able to work as part of a strong team.
