Teacher of Spanish

Teacher of Spanish

(Permanent, 0.6FTE)

Required from September 2024

We are looking to appoint an inspirational teacher, committed to securing excellent outcomes for all of our students. The ability to teach Spanish to Key Stage 5 is essential, with the ability to teach another language is desirable.

The role may appeal to a teacher seeking their first teaching post or, equally, to recently qualified or more experienced teachers.  This is an exciting time to join St Benet Biscop. It is a great place to work and provides excellent job satisfaction. It is a very happy school with an open, supportive and positive working environment. We provide excellent on-going professional development for teachers and leaders at all levels. In our recent Ofsted inspection, in January 2023, we were graded as “good” in all areas. Ofsted highlighted:

• “There is a strong sense of community at St Benet Biscop.”
• “Pupils get along well with each other and with the staff.”
• “Lessons proceed calmly, and pupils engage well with their learning.”
• “Staff say senior leaders consider their workload and listen to their views.”
• “Staff at the school have a good understanding of safeguarding because they are well trained.”

St Benet Biscop is a popular and oversubscribed school which is highly regarded within the community and we offer a high-quality education in a Catholic / Christian environment.  St Benet Biscop is part of the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust.

Above all, we wish to appoint a teacher with:

• A clear commitment to nurturing and promoting the school’s distinctive Catholic ethos
• A passion for providing the best possible holistic education for all students
• A commitment to maximising achievement through excellence in teaching and learning
• An excellent track record as a classroom teacher

Application packs, including job description and person specification for the post are available by accessing the Academy’s website: http://www.st-benetbiscop.org.uk/vacancies. Applications from all denominations are welcome. 

Completed applications should be sent to HR@stbb.org.uk for the attention of Mr Shepherd, Headteacher.

Closing date for applications:  by noon Friday, 3 May 2024. Interviews will be held shortly afterwards. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.  The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced disclosure through the Disclosure and Barring Service and additional recruitment checks.
