Candidate Briefing

We are looking for an enthusiastic and energetic Teacher of Spanish to join one of Kenya’s leading schools – in fact, one of the top schools on the whole African continent.

Kenyan education is recognised as generally excellent. About a dozen UK-style schools are at the forefront of Kenyan education, and Peponi is at the forefront of those schools. As an HMC member school, it enjoys an outstanding reputation and it educates over 300 children aged 11 to 18 from a cosmopolitan mix of local and expatriate families.

We are now seeking a new Teacher of Spanish who will help us take our Modern Foreign Languages Faculty to new highs in 2025.  You must be passionate about the language and be a first-class teacher, capable of teaching Spanish up to IGCSE and A level levels.

As a boarding and day school, we will also expect you to participate in and contribute to the life of the School as a whole. All staff take part in occasional boarding duties on a rota basis a couple of times each term, and we also have a wide range of pastoral programmes and extra-curricular activities. There'll be plenty of opportunities for you to get involved, and to add in or build your own interests. Life at Peponi is enjoyable, with a happy and collegiate atmosphere.

Our staff enjoy excellent working conditions including accommodation, a generous and comprehensive reward package, and significant amounts of personal and professional development. There is a great team spirit in our Common Room. If you join us you will achieve great job satisfaction and excellent experience, and you will enjoy a first-class quality of life in a wonderful location. 

Requisitos 

Essential

  • Solid, high quality experience of teaching Spanish to IGCSE and ideally to A level as well
  • Outstanding communication skills, commanding respect from pupils, staff and parents
  • Excellent administrative and organisational abilities with accomplished ICT skills
  • Vision and drive for producing high class lessons and activities
  • A team player with sound interpersonal skills and sensitivity
  • An understanding of, and committed, to Peponi’s ethos as outlined above
  • Well-informed of current educational issues in boarding schools and secondary education
  • An obvious commitment for pupil welfare and safeguarding
  • Broad awareness of legalities and good practice within schools

Desirable

  •  Ability to teach French as well
  •  Experience of working in an independent senior school would be a distinct advantage but is not essential. We do however look for empathy with the expectations of fee-paying parents.
  •  Dynamism, passion and energy, and a sense of fun as well as a serious side
