About this Role
Radley College is inviting applications for a Teacher of Spanish to cover maternity leave for the academic year 2025/26 from September 2025.
The ability to teach Spanish up to A level is essential, while other languages may be an advantage. This is an exciting opportunity to teach in a successful and innovative department within a friendly and collegiate school community. The ability to inspire pupils through a demonstrable love for the subject is essential, as is a willingness to work within a highly motivated, professional and dedicated team.
Radley College is committed to the highest standards of professionalism and quality in our teaching, and can provide opportunities for teacher training and development. We have an increasingly diverse pupil intake and we are looking to increase diversity within our Common Room and we therefore encourage and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Some of our staff joined Radley straight from university, others after taking a PGCE. Some had taught in independent schools, others had not – and some had not taught before. For some, teaching has become their second (or third) career. There may be opportunities for those who don’t have teaching experience to gain a PGCE during their time at Radley.
This position may come with accommodation which is free of rent, council tax and water rates, a competitive salary scale and many other staff benefits.
A willingness to be fully involved in the extra-curricular life of a busy and thriving boarding school is essential.
The deadline for applications is 12 noon, 24 March 2025 but we reserve the right to consider applications as they arrive. Interviews will take place on Thursday 27 March. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the vacancy please email the Head of Modern Languages, Ollie Astley (oja.astley@radley.org.uk).
