A large, vibrant 11-18 academy in central Birmingham is seeking a committed French Teacher to join its established Modern Foreign Languages department.

Responsibilities also include helping to organise the department's annual exchange visit to France, supporting EAL students within MFL lessons, and contributing to whole-school language and culture days.

Staff describe a department that is ambitious but supportive, with a strong sense of shared purpose around celebrating multilingualism as a strength of the school community.
