Head of German

2 weeks ago


Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom Tiffin School Full time

This is an excellent opportunity to lead a department in a friendly, dynamic school where all can thrive and staff are highly valued

The German department is dedicated to fostering strong language skills that will last a lifetime and to inspire students to be inquisitive and fascinated by the world around them at GCSE and A Level. At Tiffin School, German is extremely popular, with students showing a high level of enthusiasm and excellent results at all stages. The ideal candidate will sustain and further this enthusiasm, highlighting the significance of German within a global context. As the Head of German, your role will involve teaching students from KS3 to KS5, ensuring they develop sound language skills through engaging and tailored lessons. Through your leadership, you will oversee the effective management of the department, setting a positive example. This passion for the subject will motivate and support a team of subject specialists.

Here are some of the key reasons Tiffin is a great School in which to work:

• a vibrant and friendly staff, with a diverse mix of teachers and associate staff

“an amazing school environment. Supportive and friendly staff. Incredible extra-curricular opportunities. An environment where learning for its own sake (rather than just for passing exams) is encouraged and fostered.” (current teacher)

• very bright and able students who are motivated and eager to learn, in an environment of excellent behaviour

“as our son departs the school he certainly has an exceptional set of qualifications in his pocket, but he carries with him so much more from his time as a Tiffinian: a thirst for learning and an enquiring mind; a keen sense of self-identify; strong peer friendships as well as a bucket-full of happy memories from his schooldays.” (ex-parent)

• an opportunity to teach your subject to a high level

“as I depart for University I would be very grateful if you could pass on my thanks to all the teachers who have helped and supported me over the last seven years and allowed me to make the most of all the fantastic opportunities I have been given.” (ex-student)

• a commitment to professional development

• set in leafy Kingston, the school benefits from being in the heart of the town centre and has excellent public transport links to London and Surrey. Situated close by are Bushy and Richmond Parks, as well as Hampton Court Palace on the Thames riverside

Benefits include: season ticket loan/Cycle to Work scheme/salary advance scheme for a rental deposit/free on-site parking/enhanced maternity benefits/two-week Autumn half term

For further information and to explore the school in more detail, please visit our website where you can read the latest Headteacher’s newsletters, view our brilliant facilities and learn more about what makes Tiffin a fantastic place to work. 

Closing date: Noon on Monday 20th May 2024
