TEACHER OF LANGUAGES (French and Latin)
MPS/UPS
The Governing Board is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and well-qualified teacher of Languages to join the school from September 2025.
The successful candidate will be a French specialist. French is currently taught across Key Stages 3 and 4; Latin is taught at Key Stage 3 and may be introduced to Key Stage 4 next year. The ability to teach both subjects, while not essential, is highly desirable. Because we are looking to expand our languages curriculum to include Key Stage 5 French in the near future, the ability to deliver French to A Level standard will be an advantage.
The successful candidate will model at least good teaching practice and will be able to engage and inspire students of all abilities both in and out of lessons. They will also be keen to contribute to the school’s extra-curricular life to enhance the opportunities available to our students. A bespoke CPD programme will be tailored to meeting their needs.

The school is in Medway, a 30-minute distance from London by road or high-speed rail link. Medway benefits from a multimillion-pound regeneration programme bringing new housing developments and facilities for its inhabitants; it also has the lowest council tax rates in Kent.
