Teacher of Spanish - West Midlands

A forward-thinking and inclusive secondary school in the West Midlands is seeking a passionate Teacher of Spanish to join its well-established Modern Foreign Languages department. This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who enjoys bringing language and culture to life and values working in a collaborative, supportive environment.

The Role

You will teach Spanish across KS3–KS4 , with the potential to contribute to KS5 as the department continues to grow. The curriculum is carefully sequenced, focusing on strong foundations in vocabulary and grammar while prioritising confident speaking and listening skills.

Lessons are lively and interactive, making use of authentic materials, cultural context and retrieval-based practice. The department places strong emphasis on building students’ confidence and enthusiasm for languages, particularly among learners who may not see themselves as “natural linguists”.

The school serves a diverse intake and celebrates languages as a key part of its inclusive ethos, encouraging curiosity about the wider world and respect for different cultures.

The Department

The MFL department is stable, welcoming and well-led. Teachers work closely together on shared planning, assessments and intervention strategies, ensuring consistency without stifling individual teaching style. There is also scope to support enrichment such as language clubs, cultural events or exchange opportunities.

About You

You will:

• Hold QTS or equivalent qualification in MFL (Spanish specialism)

• Have strong subject knowledge and confident classroom practice

• Be committed to inclusive teaching and high expectations

• Enjoy working as part of a collaborative team

• Be enthusiastic about promoting languages across the school

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary and clear progression routes
