Job overview
Tes is supporting the appointment of a Head of German to join a High School based in Greenwich.
If you are an experienced German teacher who can foster a love of German in pupils, this is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the Modern Languages department at the High School.
German is very popular at the High School and there is a lot of enthusiasm for it. As Head of German, you will ensure this continues, and that pupils understand the importance of German in the global community.
You will be responsible for teaching German to students of all age ranges from 11 – 18 and will equip pupils with sound linguistic skills through challenging and differentiated lessons.
Leading by example, you will ensure the smooth and efficient running of the department and inspire and motivate a team of subject specialists through your own passion for the subject.
You will also be working closely with the Head of MFL to embed the MFL department vision and development plan and will contribute effectively to the MFL calendar and running of trips, such as organising and leading regular trips to Germany.
The ability to teach German across the full range of KS3, KS4 and KS5 and another language to GCSE is desirable. Spanish would be desirable at KS4.

Following an £18 million investment, their new Senior School opened in 2018, and has been provided with state-of-the-art facilities to ensure that their school environment matches the excellent standard of education they provide.
