Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking to appoint a high quality, enthusiastic Teacher of French and Spanish to join our Modern Language Faculty. Candidates must be able to offer one language to GCSE and be able to teach younger classes in the other. If you have the desire to make a real difference to the lives of young people and want to join a team of highly dedicated staff, then we would love to hear from you.

We would welcome applications from all levels of experience. The position is 0.8 FTE but we would consider a full time role for an ECT looking to start their teaching career within a MAT which provides lots of opportunities as well as working within a supportive department.

Axe Valley is a wonderful school to work in, with brilliant students who deserve the best from staff. We are proud of our recent Ofsted Good judgement but have the vision to drive for even greater things in the future. Axe Valley is well respected in the local community. We have higher than national average numbers of students on the SEND register as a result of a strong SEND provision and we pride ourselves on the high standards of behaviour that are in place across the school. The success of vulnerable students is at the heart of our self evaluation. We are excited to continue to improve and are looking for a dedicated teacher who is passionate about improving the life chances of vulnerable students.

One of the twelve schools within the Blackdown Education Partnership, Axe Valley currently has approximately 750 students in Years 7–11. The Academy is located in East Devon, in the beautiful market town of Axminster, which is set on the River Axe. Axminster is just a few miles inland from the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and has excellent rail links to London and Exeter.

This is a really exciting post for a candidate who wants to make a difference to our students.

• A supportive team, both in the school and the wider trust
• Access to networking events across the wider trust
