The purpose of the Spanish Language Assistant role at Christ’s Hospital is to support the Spanish Department in delivering high‑quality language teaching and enriching pupils’ linguistic confidence and cultural understanding.

The postholder plays a key part in preparing students aged 11–18 for GCSE and A‑Level speaking components by leading small‑group and one‑to‑one speaking sessions, assisting in lessons, and contributing to departmental activities such as clubs and broader curricular events. In addition, the role supports the wider life of this busy boarding school through pastoral involvement in a boarding house, participation in co‑curricular programmes, and collaboration with teaching and pastoral staff across departments. At its core, the role ensures pupils receive personalised, engaging language support while contributing positively to the school community and its ethos.

This is a fixed term position for the 2026/2027 academic year, commencing August 2026 until August 2027. Working on a full time basis during term time, the full time salary for this role is £18,000 plus accommodation.

We welcome applications from all sectors of the community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake. We consider the most important factor to be the right skills, abilities and attitude for the job which will ultimately improve the well-being and education of the students. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK and it is likely they will be a fluent Spanish speaker, currently completing university studies in the UK, making them eligible for a graduate visa.
