About the Role

The pastoral life of the school is very important, so you will have your own tutor group. We operate in Year Teams, but we have Houses that we use for Sports Day and other competitions.

We check progress regularly, so you will be keeping records of students’ learning journeys, which you will share with students, parents and carers.

Hove Park is an ambitious and innovative place to work. We strive to help young people enjoy successful lives by giving them an inspirational, academic and enriching education, with a strong emphasis on independent learning and harnessing new technology.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate their willingness to support students of all abilities and to make French and Spanish accessible and fun, with particular emphasis on GCSE and fluency in spoken French and Spanish.

Closing date: 9th October 2026
