Spanish Teacher – Worcestershire

The Opportunity

A leading independent school in Worcestershire is seeking an exceptional Spanish Teacher to join its modern languages faculty. This full-time, permanent position involves teaching Spanish across Key Stages 3–5 (GCSE and A-Level), contributing to curriculum innovation and raising student engagement in language study.

The ideal candidate will:

• Hold a recognised teaching qualification (QTS, PGCE or equivalent)
• Possess excellent subject knowledge and experience teaching Spanish (GCSE & A-Level)
• Plan and deliver lessons balancing language skills, cultural context and challenge
• Use assessment, feedback and differentiation to support all learners
• Work collaboratively, reflectively, and contribute to departmental growth

Experience leading linguistic immersion, exchange programmes or cultural outreach projects would be an asset.

This is a prestigious independent day school that offers a wide and enriching academic curriculum. It is known for its combination of strong results, pastoral care, and emphasis on global outlook.

The languages department is integral to the school’s vision of preparing global citizens. Spanish is a popular choice in language pathways, and the faculty supports students’ cultural and communicative competence through authentic contexts, literature, media, and travel. Department resources include language labs, digital platforms, and collaboration with external cultural organisations.

• A competitive independent-school salary package commensurate with experience
• Access to professional development, leadership pathways, and language-specialist opportunities
• State‑of‑the‑art teaching facilities, departmental support and technology
• A stimulating, collaborative academic environment that values innovation
• Capacity to lead enrichment such as exchanges, cultural workshops or student projects

You will deliver Spanish lessons across the full age range, integrating speaking, listening, reading and writing skills with cultural awareness and challenge. You will support students through internal and external assessments, and contribute to the development of schemes of learning, departmental resources and cross‑curricular links.

You will also have opportunities to lead or contribute to language clubs, organise exchange visits or immersion trips, and develop projects that deepen students’ linguistic and cultural understanding. The role may also involve collaborating with other departments (e.g. geography, global studies) to elevate interdisciplinary language teaching.
