We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic German teacher to join our successful independent, selective, co-educational day school in rural Leicestershire from September 2022, a later start date may be available for an exceptional candidate. We are seeking an innovative and dynamic individual who can deliver engaging lessons that will motivate and inspire our students to learn German from Y6 up to GCSE and A Level. This full-time post (part time work may be available if preferred) would suit a newly qualified teacher or a more experienced teacher of German, who can ideally also teach French, from either the private or state sector.
This is an excellent opportunity to join our highly regarded Language Department. The school has a strong and long standing tradition of outstanding teaching within our Languages Department in all year groups. The ability to teach German to A Level is essential and the ability to teach French to at least KS3 would be an advantage.
The quality of education at the Dixie has been judged as excellent by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and all staff play their part in our supportive and vibrant community – not least through contribution to an extensive co-curricular programme and as part of a dynamic pastoral team.
The school is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all candidates, staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointment to this role will be subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks being completed and an enhanced DBS clearance.
