London, United Kingdom Westminster School Full time

Job Introduction
The Modern Languages Department at Westminster strives to be the very best in England. We pride ourselves not just in our high levels of participation and excellent outcomes, but in our ethos and approach: this a Department in which pupils feel supported, valued and challenged. Through our teaching, pupils learn to communicate in a new language, but they also value the opportunities to learn about cultures and identities beyond our shores, and learn to see the world through new eyes.

Trips and visits abroad are an important part of our job, and typically we run expeditions to France, Germany, Spain, Austria and Russia/the Baltic. The Department is home to a number of language-related pupil-led societies, covering French, German, Spanish, Slavic Languages, multilingual debating and linguistics. We encourage our pupils to participate in a full range of competitions, from the UK Linguistics Olympiad to various essay, public speaking and creative translation competitions which take place throughout the year.

**Line manager**

The German Language Assistant reports to the Head of German and on some occasions the Head of Modern Languages. All teaching staff are responsible to the Deputy Head (Academic) on academic matters, to the Under Master on matters of discipline, pastoral, welfare and safeguarding, and ultimately to the Head Master.

- Give supportive advice and guidance to pupils on how to develop their oral proficiency by identifying areas of pronunciation, grammar, idiom or vocabulary which they can improve
- Encourage students to take responsibility for their progress by maintaining high expectations of punctuality, attendance and learning behaviours

About The School
**Working at Westminster**

Westminster School is a busy, purposeful and vibrant place to be and an excellent workplace. The community is made up of 750 pupils, 120 teaching staff and 108 support staff.

Westminster School is friendly and welcoming, and all newcomers quickly become part of the rhythm of life here.

There is a real sense of community here as, being a boarding school many members of staff and pupils live on site and the School’s premises are very much treated as a home away from home. School life starts before breakfast and continues way beyond the working day; as a result, there is always a lively atmosphere in and around School and always someone to share a tea and biscuit with in the Common Room. Support staff as much as teaching staff are encouraged to embrace the School’s day-to-day activities, whether that be attending an evening concert or a morning service in the Abbey.

Westminster School is for everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or
