German Teacher

About the Role

The German Primary Teacher plays a key role in delivering high-quality teaching and learning within the primary phase of an international school environment. The successful candidate will create a positive and nurturing classroom culture, inspiring curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning in young students while supporting their academic, social, and emotional development through German-language instruction. Responsibilities include planning and delivering engaging, well-structured lessons across the primary curriculum, differentiating learning to meet a range of abilities and linguistic backgrounds, and monitoring student progress with clear and constructive feedback to both students and parents.

The role also involves encouraging independence and creativity, supporting students in developing confidence in spoken and written German, and contributing fully to the wider life of the school, including events, trips, assemblies, and extracurricular activities. All duties must be carried out in accordance with safeguarding responsibilities and a commitment to promoting student wellbeing at all times.

We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic educator with proven experience teaching within a primary school environment and a strong track record of planning and delivering engaging lessons across the primary age range. The ideal candidate will have experience supporting students with diverse academic, linguistic, and social needs, along with the ability to assess, monitor, and effectively support student progress. A recognised teaching qualification suitable for primary education, along with a degree in Education or a related subject and eligibility to teach within an international setting, is essential.

The candidate should demonstrate strong knowledge of primary teaching methodologies and child development, excellent classroom management skills, and the ability to motivate and inspire young learners. Strong organisational and communication skills are key, as is the ability to create a warm, inclusive, and engaging learning environment. A commitment to safeguarding and student wellbeing, paired with a collaborative approach to working within an international and multicultural team, is fundamental to success in this role.

Cognita Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, volunteers and other third parties to share this commitment. Safer recruitment practice and pre-employment background checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed. We are an equal opportunities employer committed to diversity and treating all employees with dignity and respect regardless of background.
