About this role
Habs has been awarded Independent School of the Year 2025, with Haberdashers’ Elstree Schools receiving both the award for Outstanding Educational Partnerships and the overall top accolade of Independent School of the Year 2025. This recognition reflects our long-term commitment to social impact and the deep, sustained collaborations we continue to build with our state sector partners. It is an exciting time to join our community.
At Haberdashers’ Boys’ School, we believe languages open doors; to cultures, to ideas, and to the wider world. We are looking for an inspiring and committed Teacher of German to join our thriving Modern Languages department and help bring that belief to life for our pupils.
This is an exciting opportunity to teach German in a school where academic curiosity is celebrated, classrooms are alive with discussion, and pupils are motivated to achieve at the highest level. The ability to offer a second language (such as French or Spanish) would be a distinct advantage.
Importantly, we recognise that great teachers value flexibility. This role is available on either a full-time or part-time basis, and we are open to discussing working patterns that support both the successful candidate and the needs of the department.
