Teacher of Spanish

“Without language, one cannot talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, grasp their history, appreciate their poetry or savour their songs.” - Nelson Mandela

Laurus Ryecroftare currently looking for a dedicated Teacher of Spanish who can contribute to our commitment to providing exceptional teaching and learning experiences. We are searching for an individual who possesses a genuine enthusiasm for teaching Spanish, both within the classroom and beyond. This post is suitable for both experienced teachers or newly qualified teachers.

At Laurus Ryecoft we believe that Modern and Ancient Languages provides a way of transcending cultural barriers, allowing students to see their world from a different viewpoint. It prompts them to question what is ‘normal’, fosters their curiosity and deepens their understanding of the world as a rich and diverse place filled with different customs, perspectives, history, arts, literature and ways of communicating. It also affords students the chance to understand the codes which exist behind languages and how these might interplay, or be at odds with English. They will be able to recognise that rules and patterns exist throughout languages and that these may well be influenced by the impact of culture. Students can start to build a more powerful understanding of their own language through questioning how we put together words, sentences and text.

For further details on the role, including key skills and experience required, please see the Job Description and Person Specification attached below.
