Job overview
We are seeking to appoint a full time Teacher of German who is able to teach the subject to IGCSE at least, and preferably to A-Level, for the Autumn Term of 2024-25.
The position is suitable for either a teacher who is in the early stages of their career (including recent graduates) or one with more experience.
The successful applicant will work closely with the Head of Languages, who is also a Germanist.
German is a popular subject at Ibstock and sits within the vibrant Languages Faculty, which also includes Spanish, French, Latin, Mandarin and Classics.
There are typically three classes of German at Key Stage 3 and one to two classes at IGCSE.
Numbers at A-Level remain solid, and Ibstonians regularly go on to study Languages at university.
We have a strong record of excellent examination outcomes at both IGCSE and A-Level and are an experienced, friendly and collegiate Languages Faculty of sixteen teachers and Foreign Language Assistants across all of the subjects offered.
The German Department offers an annual trip to pupils in the form of a Year 8 trip to the Christmas Markets in Vienna, as well as a biennial trip to Munich for Years 9 and 10.
We also offer a wide range of co-curricular experiences within school such as taking part in, and hosting, debating competitions against other schools, daytrips to study German cinema at the BFI and competitions such as Translation Bees.
