• Passionate about languages, culture and international perspectives

• Able to inspire confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing

• Reflective, organised and keen to work collaboratively

• Committed to inclusive practice and student wellbeing

• QTS, PGCE or an equivalent teaching qualification is expected, along with the right to work in the UK.

About the School in Taunton

The school is widely respected for combining academic rigour with a warm and supportive community ethos. Students are encouraged to think globally, challenge themselves intellectually and participate fully in a wide range of enrichment opportunities.

Salary will be competitive and aligned with the school’s independent pay scale, dependent on experience and qualifications.
