MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHER (MFL) – FULL TIME - PERMANENT

King David High School is a Jewish faith based school located in South Liverpool and serving the needs of the Jewish and wider community.

We are seeking to an appoint an outstanding candidate to join our Modern Foreign Languages team within the Humanities Faculty at King David High School. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for a hard-working, enthusiastic and ambitious classroom practitioner who is committed to ensuring that all students fulfil their academic potential at every key stage (11-18). We are also looking for someone who will engender a real passion amongst our student body for a study of languages so that the department can continue to grow at GCSE and at A-Level. 

Currently, students at King David are given the opportunity to study French, Ivrit and German whilst we are looking to offer Spanish as part of our main provision from September. Thus, we are looking primarily to appoint a Spanish specialist, who may be able to offer French or German as a secondary language. A willingness to teach English at Key Stage 3 would also be highly desirable.

King David High School has a strong tradition of academic excellence. Our examination results and value added are well above the national average. The successful candidate is expected to have excellent subject knowledge and the ability to teach outstanding lessons. In return, they can expect well-motivated pupils and supportive colleagues. 

At King David we pride ourselves on our strong Jewish ethos and we expect all our students and staff to embody the school motto, "let there be light through faith and work," in everything that we do. Our principal aims are to always strive for improvement and to ensure that students and staff are happy and successful. If you believe you have the necessary values and expertise to strengthen our 'kehilla' then we would love to hear from you. 

The school is conveniently located just off the M62.
