Foreign Language Assistant (German)

Part-time, term time only

September 2025

NJC Salary Scale, Outer London remuneration based on hours worked, currently £22.31 per hour

St. Olave's Grammar School is a forward-looking selective Church of England school where our naturally able and inquisitive pupils are a delight to teach. The school was judged Outstanding in all areas in November 2024. The school prioritises the wellbeing, dignity and morale of its staff and pupils, actively investing in CPD as we very much feel that people make our environment.

We seek a Foreign Language Assistant (German) who is fluent in German, ideally a native or near-native speaker of German, who is able to engage young people who are interested in the language and culture and who is able to learn how the GCSE and A level exams work. Experience of teaching German as a foreign language would be helpful but is not essential. The MFL Faculty has considerable examination and university success, with students gaining places at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

This is a part-time role, term time only, 34 paid weeks per year/27 actual working weeks. The number of hours will vary year-on-year to accommodate student numbers, but we would expect it to be in the region of approximately 15 to 20 taught lessons per fortnight.
