English Teacher

St George Madrid is a fast growing, but young school within the St George's Group of Schools in Spain and is located in a prime educational zone to the North of the capital. The school operates on a large campus with many new and developing facilities. The school has seen significant growth in recent years, with potential for more. The successful candidate will be an experienced and enthusiastic practitioner, preferably with experience of teaching English across the secondary phase including key stage five. Experience of teaching English Language and Literature for the IB Diploma is desirable but not essential.

As part of the secondary team, the successful candidate would be expected to assist with developing the school's English programme working within and as a member of our English department. As an international school we expect all of our staff to commit to the life of the school, through our after-school programme and events and activities going on throughout the year. A commitment to educating the whole child, emphasis on high levels of pastoral care and an inclusive approach to education will be of the utmost importance as we make the final appointment. We are proud that we add great value to the children in our care, whatever their background, and it is important to us that they are all successful. As our students come to us from a range of different backgrounds and with varying needs, an interest in raising attainment across all ability levels is very important. Nearly all of our children have English as a second or third language. There is a high level of English proficiency across the school, but being able to adapt to the needs of students who are working outside of their native level language is very important. Candidates will also need to demonstrate evidence of being strong team players as well as the ability to adapt quickly to new situations, with a flexible approach to problem solving. We follow an adapted English National Curriculum across our primary and secondary schools, leading to examination at IGCSE and IB Diploma. If you are committed to child centred education, with a deep rooted desire to help every child reach their potential and are interested in helping shape the future development of an international school we would be delighted to hear from you.
