Job overview

 The Crypt School is seeking to appoint a dynamic part-time German Assistant to join the teaching staff in October 2024. The role will include up to 4 hours of teaching per week, subject to the number of students studying the language in the Sixth Form.

As a Language Assistant at Crypt your main duty will be the planning and delivery of one-to-one sessions with our sixth form language students to support their classroom learning. The themes of these sessions will follow the relevant AQA A Level course. You may also be asked to work with small groups of GCSE students. 

The main goal of these sessions will be to improve the students' spoken fluency and accuracy in the target language, whilst deepening their cultural knowledge with reference to current affairs and native level media where possible. You will also focus on improving students' exam technique where appropriate.

Native level proficiency in German is essential as well as a desire to work with talented young people who have a passion for languages. Knowledge of the AQA German A Level course is desirable.

Message from the Headmaster – Mr. Nicholas Dyer

I am delighted that you are considering a role here at The Crypt School. I hope that you find this information helpful, and we look forward to receiving your application.

The School is located just outside of the City of Gloucester in the West of England. Gloucester is known for its 11th century Cathedral and close; for Blackfriars, which is a stunning example of a 13th century medieval priory site; the British Waterways Museum, which celebrates the city’s industrial past, and now the vibrant Gloucester Quays, which has a selection of shops and restaurants. Gloucester is a vibrant and growing city, and the School is conveniently located close to the City, and close to good road and rail links to Cheltenham and the surrounding region, including Bristol for example.

Founded in 1539, The Crypt School’s vision is derived from its Latin motto “Floreat Schola Cryptiensis”: floreat means “to flourish” and at The Crypt we wish all our pupils and our young adults in the sixth form, as well as our staff, to flourish in all that they do.

We are a vibrant selective school, a place where learning is valued for its own sake within an environment of strong pastoral care. At the centre of our school life, is a powerful sense of community, where pupils are supported and encouraged to learn and engage with each other. Confident, friendly and respectful, the high quality of our pupils’ personal development is remarkable and is one of the greatest strengths of the School.

We recognise the time and thought that goes into an application and we will certainly give yours our serious consideration.

If you have any further questions or wish to visit the School prior to sending in an application, please contact Sharon Bailey via sbailey@crypt.gloucs.sch.uk who will be able to assist you.

With best wishes
Nicholas Dyer
