  • Differentiating lessons to support varying abilities

  • Providing additional classroom cover as required by the school

  • Managing classroom behaviour across Spanish and cover lessons

  • Maintaining positive relationships with pupils and colleagues

  • Following established school policies and safeguarding procedures

The successful candidate will need to be adaptable, organised and confident delivering Spanish lessons while supporting additional cover requirements.
