When you join the team at Heriot’s, you become part of our community, where the contribution of every individual is important and valued. The Heriot’s motto, to “distribute chearfullie”, is at the heart of school - distributing of kindness, of support and of generosity remains as live today as it was in 1628 when George Heriot founded the school.

Our most recent staff survey reported that 97% of employees at Heriot’s feel motivated and happy to work here and we aim to provide a friendly, welcoming, and supportive environment for all of our people. This aim is reflected in the package we offer which, for our teaching staff, in addition to salary (which includes a Heriot’s enhancement), teacher holidays and pension, includes:

  • Enhanced sick pay, maternity and paternity pay
  • Family friendly policies (Including Personal Emergency Leave Days)
  • Continued professional development opportunities
  • Travel to work schemes
  • School Fee Remission (non-contractual benefit)
  • Employee Assistance programme, including 24/7 counselling helpline and high street, supermarket, and general retail discounts
  • Opportunities for involvement in the wider school community

We aim to attract and retain a diverse group of talented people, who are committed to upholding the school’s ethos. As an Equal Opportunities employer, we welcome applications from all sections of the community.

We are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and enthusiastic Teacher of German to join our successful Modern Languages Department. The position will be available from August 2024.

The Modern Languages Department comprises of a mixture of full time and part time members of staff, augmented by our team of five Foreign Language Assistants, and is based in a dedicated suite of classrooms within the Old Building. Pupils are introduced to Modern Languages via a Cultural Awareness Course in Primary 5, with the more formal study of the subject beginning in Primary 6. All pupils study at least one Modern Language through to S4, at which point they are presented for National 5, with many opting to continue into S5/6 and/or start studying a second Modern Language in S3 via one of our fast-tracking intensive beginners’ courses.

With French, German, Italian, Mandarin and Spanish all delivered to Advanced Higher, both the depth and breadth of Modern Languages provision at George Heriot’s School are key strengths. Furthermore, the Modern Languages experience is greatly enhanced by our extensive exchange programme with our partner schools in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and China. We seek to inspire our pupils to realise their full potential in subjects which will equip them with the tools required to communicate and interact successfully in an ever changing world.

The department consistently achieves excellent results, thanks in no small measure to the enormous commitment of its teachers.

Please see attached job description for full details.

In addition to curricular responsibilities, the successful candidate will be expected to participate fully in the extra-curricular life of the School.
