We are looking for a hard-working individual to join us as a teacher of German (maternity leave).

The Bishop of Llandaff is an 11-18 co-educational comprehensive school serving the Christian and non-Christian communities within the city and surrounding areas including The Vale of Glamorgan, Caerphilly, Rhondda Cynon Taff, and Bridgend. Standards of achievement at all levels are exceptionally high, with outcomes consistently performing amongst the best schools in Wales and rest of the UK. However, the school is more than just about examination outcomes. Our students take part in a broad range of activities that help them become "well-rounded" and our strong Christian ethos helps shape our students to become positive role models in our society. It genuinely is a happy place to learn and work! We want every student to have the best start in life by providing them with an outstanding education! We seek to ensure each student in our care achieves their full potential academically; develops the skills necessary to be successful in our ever-changing world; and understands a sense of morality guided by the gospel values of love, acceptance, responsibility, and forgiveness. These aims are delivered through a commitment to providing high quality learning experiences, a strong pastoral system and an extensive range of sporting, cultural, physical, and extra-curricular activities.

About the role
Languages is very popular amongst students at the school, with French, Spanish and German offered throughout the curriculum. This is in addition to all students studying Welsh up to and including GCSE. Achievement in languages is very strong, with students consistently achieving above expected progress.

The languages team is located in A block and each classroom has its own dedicated equipment to ensure high quality learning. This includes interactive whiteboards, and visualizers. All teaching staff are also issued with a 2-in-1 laptop device.

The role would suit a newly qualified teacher searching for their first position or an experienced teacher looking for a fresh challenge in a different context. Given this is a maternity leave post, we anticipate the role is likely to be up to one or possibly two terms. However, the return date of the substantive post-holder is not yet confirmed. As the primary teacher of German, the post-holder will predominantly deliver this across the curriculum. However, it would be helpful if the post-holder could offer some French or Spanish up to key stage 3. The role can be offered as part-time (0.84 FTE) or full-time, with some additional teaching outside of the subject by agreement.
