Head of French – The Department
Pastoral and Co-Curricular role
Radley College is committed to the highest standards of professionalism and quality in our teaching, and can provide opportunities for teacher training and development. We have an increasingly diverse pupil intake and we are looking to increase diversity within our Common Room. We therefore encourage and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Some of our staff joined Radley straight from university, others after taking a PGCE. Some had taught in independent schools, others had not – and some had not taught before. For some, teaching has become their second (or third) career. There may be opportunities for those who don’t have teaching experience to gain a PGCE during their time at Radley.
As a boarding school, we are looking for someone who is prepared to throw themselves wholeheartedly into the life of the College. Radley is a community and those who get most out of it – whether as boys or as teachers – are those who are prepared to embrace the breadth of the education that Radley offers.
This position comes with accommodation which is free of rent, council tax and water rates and Radley College offers its own competitive salary scale.
For an informal chat about the role, please contact the Head of Modern Languages, Ollie Astley (oja.astley@radley.org.uk).
The deadline for applications is 1 pm on Thursday 9 May 2024 with interviews to take place on Monday 13 May. Suitable candidates my be interviewed before the closing date and we reserve the right to withdrawn the position if an early appointment is made. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply early.
