Jobs

Not every languages department feels the same.

Some schools want quiet classrooms and textbook lessons. This school wants somebody who can actually bring Spanish to life.

Smile Education are working with a secondary school in Melton Mowbray that’s looking for a Spanish Teacher from August 2026 who can make students want to walk into lessons, not count down the minutes until they leave them.

The school is open to teachers who like doing things differently. Interactive lessons, cultural learning, speaking confidence, creative activities — they want somebody with personality who can get students buying into the subject.

You’ll be joining a school with strong behaviour, supportive leadership, and a department that works together rather than everyone being left to themselves. Staff are trusted, supported, and given room to teach in their own style.

A few things teachers already at the school say they like:

• Students are respectful and generally want to learn
• SLT are visible and supportive
• The department shares resources and helps each other out
• Staff wellbeing is actually taken seriously
• There’s a good atmosphere around the school

The role itself:

• Spanish Teacher across KS3 and KS4
• August 2026 start
• Full teaching responsibilities
• Potential KS5 teaching if that’s something you enjoy
• Flexibility around a 4-day timetable or job share for the right person

The school would suit somebody who:

• Has QTS
• Enjoys building relationships with students
• Wants to teach engaging lessons instead of just delivering content
• Brings confidence and energy into the classroom
• Likes being part of a team and wider school community

The school is based in Melton Mowbray with onsite parking available and good transport links from Leicester, Loughborough, and
surrounding areas.

What Smile Education can offer:

• Competitive daily rates between £180–£235
• PAYE and Umbrella options available
• Holiday pay at 12.07%
• Free CPD opportunities
• Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant
• Referral bonus scheme up to £200

If you’re a Spanish Teacher looking for a role where you can genuinely enjoy teaching again, we’d love to hear from you.
