We are looking for a leader who has a vision for what an excellent MFL education would look like for students and who is able to deliver that vision through excellent planning, coaching and teaching. This leader will also need to monitor and evaluate the quality and effectiveness of all the different strands of MFL education at Uckfield College. Uckfield College is a place where our leaders have a highly positive influence on our College culture. We are really interested in growing leaders and you will be given plenty of opportunities and the challenge and support to be able to learn, develop and thrive.
