About the school and role
 

The languages department values purposeful communication and an appreciation of other cultures. Lessons build vocabulary, pronunciation and grammatical understanding in manageable steps, helping pupils become increasingly independent language users.
This full-time opportunity at a secondary school in Haringey gives you the chance to establish your teaching with consistent classes. The school values a broad curriculum and thoughtful adaptation, giving pupils different ways to contribute without lowering expectations. Teaching allocation will be discussed against your training and subject strengths.

Your responsibilities
 

- Teach your language specialism across the agreed KS3 and KS4 timetable; confirm your languages when applying.
- Develop listening, speaking, reading and writing through structured practice and meaningful communication.
- Use retrieval and responsive assessment to strengthen vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar.
- Establish positive routines, adapt teaching for SEND and EAL, and communicate constructively with families.
- Work with colleagues, reflect on feedback and contribute to departmental planning.

What you will bring
 

- QTS, or currently working towards QTS with completion expected before the agreed teaching start date.
- Relevant school placement experience, a reflective approach and a willingness to act on feedback.
- Positive behaviour management, inclusive teaching and a strong commitment to safeguarding.
- Strong proficiency in your teaching language and the ability to make language learning accessible and motivating.

A supported start
 

Build confidence in your subject teaching through collaborative planning, opportunities to learn from colleagues and focused feedback. Connect will discuss the school’s mentoring and induction arrangements with you before you accept, including whether the placement can count towards statutory ECT induction. Trainees are welcome to apply ahead of completing QTS.
