Teacher of Spanish

About Us

Brockington College is a highly successful 11-16 school with 1,200 students currently on roll. Students attending the school mainly live in the catchment villages of Enderby, Narborough, Huncote, Thurlaston and Croft, and the school is a popular choice for students from a wide out of catchment area, from Leicester city to the north and Stoney Stanton to the south. 

We require a full time teacher of Spanish to join the current team on a fixed term contract until July 2025 initially, commencing as soon as possible.  The ability to also teach French would be desirable.  This is an essential appointment for the college as an 11-16 school and the successful candidate will be required to teach Spanish across the age and ability range. Please refer to the Languages faculty summary within the application pack for an overview of this dynamic department.   For any teacher wanting to join a department where they will feel supported, challenged and inspired, the Brockington Languages department is the perfect fit, and we welcome applications from all colleagues who believe in the ethos and vision of our school.

The appointment provides a fantastic opportunity for a suitably qualified candidate in a school that values its members of staff. Our members of staff are incredibly hard working and caring and we expect all employees to adopt these standards and support the values and ethos of the college, of which we are very proud.

Brockington College is a Church of England Academy, attended by students from a variety of faith backgrounds and our strong Christian ethos is the firm foundation for all that we do. The ethos runs so strongly through college life that it was graded as 'excellent' in our recent Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools in June 2023. Our facilities are 'state-of-the-art' and make a strong contribution to teaching standards and to student and staff well-being. Members of staff enjoy a range of CPD and INSET opportunities, a robust support system for ECTs, free car parking, weekly sports opportunities and voluntary prayer meetings, alongside other wellbeing opportunities. The school runs a wide variety of enrichment opportunities for students, as well as a range of residential trips, which members of staff support both near and far, from the Forest of Dean and Norfolk to Iceland, Kenya and China.
