About the Role

We are seeking an ambitious, inspiring and highly effective Curriculum Leader of Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) to join the team at Noel Baker Academy. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced teacher and leader with Spanish as their specialist subject, who is passionate about securing excellent outcomes for young people through a high-quality languages curriculum, outstanding teaching and strong departmental leadership.

The successful candidate will provide strategic leadership for the MFL department, ensuring a coherent, ambitious and inclusive curriculum that enables all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND, to achieve their full potential. You will lead on curriculum planning, assessment and quality assurance across MFL, with particular responsibility for the development and delivery of Spanish, using data and evidence to monitor performance, identify areas for improvement and implement effective interventions to raise attainment and progress.

Working closely with senior leaders and colleagues across the Trust, you will support, challenge and develop staff through coaching, mentoring, appraisal and professional development. You will play a key role in driving improvements in teaching and learning across the department, promoting high expectations of behaviour and achievement, and ensuring a culture of continuous improvement.

As Curriculum Leader of MFL, you will also contribute to school improvement planning, self-evaluation activities, transition arrangements, enrichment opportunities and wider academy priorities. You will manage departmental resources effectively, foster positive relationships with pupils, parents and external partners, and promote the Trust's values of Lead, Empower, Achieve and Drive. You will actively champion language learning, promoting cultural awareness and a love of languages through a range of enrichment and extracurricular opportunities.

This role would suit an inspirational middle leader who is committed to inclusive education, has a strong track record of securing positive outcomes for pupils and staff, and is motivated by making a lasting difference to the life chances of young people.

The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.

  3. Have a proven record of delivering high-quality teaching and securing strong outcomes for pupils in MFL.
  4. Have experience of leading or coordinating a subject, key stage or team.
  5. Demonstrate strong curriculum, assessment and subject knowledge within Modern Foreign Languages.
  6. Use assessment and performance data effectively to identify priorities and drive improvement.

  8. Have excellent communication, organisational and leadership skills.
  9. Be committed to high standards of behaviour, achievement and inclusion for all pupils.
