The Trust wishes to appoint an enthusiastic, ambitious and highly motivated Teacher of Spanish to join a dynamic, experienced and deeply committed department at Wembley High Technology College. This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about languages, internationalism and cultural understanding, and keen to contribute to a high-performing team with a strong track record of success.
Modern Foreign Languages is a vital and growing area within the Trust, offering students opportunities to develop communication skills, cultural awareness and intellectual curiosity. Spanish plays a key role in broadening students’ understanding of the wider world and equipping them with the linguistic confidence and global outlook needed for future study and employment. Through a broad and ambitious curriculum, students are encouraged to develop fluency, resilience and independence across the four key language skills. The subject makes a significant contribution to students’ personal development and cultural capital.
From September 2026, the Trust will launch the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP), providing an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to contribute to the development of a rich and ambitious languages curriculum, including potential involvement in Language B or ab initio courses. This represents a significant platform for professional growth, curriculum design and collaboration within a forward-thinking educational environment.
The successful candidate will be energetic, well organised and committed to excellence in the classroom, and will play a key role in further developing Modern Foreign Languages across the Trust. They will also contribute to our vibrant and wide-ranging extra-curricular programme, including language clubs, educational visits, cultural enrichment activities and opportunities that promote a love of languages and international understanding.
The ability to offer French, Mandarin, Portuguese or Latin in addition to Spanish would be advantageous, although this is not essential.
