Germany’s third largest city, and the capital of the state of Bavaria, Munich is a dynamic and vibrant cultural centre, with a large and diverse international community. Situated on the northern edge of the Alps, Munich offers a high standard of living, as well as numerous opportunities for travel and outdoor pursuits.

We are seeking to appoint a qualified teacher of German as a first and/or second language to work in our flourishing German department in the primary school.

Second language speakers follow a curriculum that is tailored to their level and needs. German teachers work across the whole primary department and play an important role in monitoring pupil development. They keep careful track of pupils’ progress and maintain regular dialogue with parents.

The successful applicant will be a dynamic teacher with experience of enabling pupils to achieve their potential. We are looking for the right balance between experience, enthusiasm and a passion for teaching that will inspire our pupils.

Fluency in both English and German are a prerequisite. Familiarity with the English National Curriculum and Bavarian curriculum for German are also beneficial.
