Spanish Language Assistant

This is an opportunity to share your passion for Spanish language and culture, acquire and develop skills to benefit your future career, and experience life at a leading independent school.

As a Spanish Language Assistant, you will be able to communicate your enthusiasm for Spanish language, Spain and Spanish culture to pupils in a well-organised manner.

You will conduct speaking classes and make a significant contribution outside the timetable to the school’s extra-curricular activities.

The ability to speak entirely fluently in Spanish is essential, as is knowledge of Spanish speaking countries in order to bring cultural familiarity and awareness to the role and to share this with pupils.

Experience of working within a classroom environment is equally important.

This is a temporary contract, from August 2025 to August 2026 (exact dates to be confirmed).
