This is a superb opportunity to influence language learning in a high-achieving and supportive environment.
About the Role:
This is a full-time, permanent position with responsibility for leading Spanish across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5. The successful candidate will guide curriculum development, support colleagues, and drive student achievement in Spanish.

• Leadership Role – Shape and grow the Spanish curriculum within a successful MFL faculty
• Excellent CPD – Ongoing professional development tailored to leadership progression
• Inspiring Students – Teach motivated learners with a strong appetite for languages
• Well-Equipped Department – Access to language labs, digital resources, and modern facilities
• Supportive SLT – Work in a school where middle leaders are trusted and empowered
• Post-16 Teaching – Lead and teach A-Level Spanish within a strong Sixth Form provision
We are looking for a Head of Spanish who:
• Holds QTS or a PGCE, with a degree in Spanish or a related subject
• Has experience teaching Spanish across KS3–KS5
• Can teach French to KS4 (preferred but not essential)
• Demonstrates a strong record of raising achievement and working collaboratively
• Possesses excellent leadership, communication, and organisational skills
• Is committed to fostering a love of languages and global cultural understanding
