English Teacher (Pädagoge/Pädagogin)

At Josef-Schwarz-School, education is about creating meaningful learning experiences, encouraging students to think independently and giving teachers the freedom to develop their own ideas. Our bilingual school community spans two campuses: surrounded by nature in Erlenbach and centrally located in Heilbronn. Both combine inspiring architecture, state-of-the-art learning environments and an international spirit with a warm, close-knit school culture. From Reception through to the Baden-Württemberg Abitur, German and English are a natural part of everyday school life. Our immersion-based approach enables students to experience English not simply as a subject, but as an authentic language of learning, communication and collaboration.

For our Secondary School in Heilbronn, we are looking for an enthusiastic and inspiring English Teacher (Full-time or part-time).
