We are looking for an outstanding, ambitious Head of Languages (Welsh speaking)/Pennaeth yr Adran Ieithoedd who is passionate about their subject and the impact it can have on a young person’s development and all-round education.  This post has arisen due to the promotion of the current postholder.  As a key post in our school, it is one where we may be able to offer an opportunity for senior leadership team experience, for the right candidate.

As an experienced teacher, you will develop an exciting curriculum, both in lessons and beyond, that suits every type of learner and have the resolve to make a real difference to the lives of our young people. The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual eager to make a positive contribution to the aspirational vision for The Maelor School, with excellent organisational skills and will demonstrate the ability to lead a successful faculty drawing on their extensive teaching experience.

You will have:

• experience of sustained delivery of outstanding attainment and achievements in Cymraeg;
• and experience of innovation and creativity to engage, enthuse and progress learners.
