Bonjour, new adventure.

We’re on the lookout for a fab French Teacher to join a welcoming secondary school in Wakefield this September—for 3 days a week across the autumn term.

The role is well-balanced: a lovely mix of KS3 and KS4, a helpful MFL department, and the kind of school where support is there when you need it and independence is respected.

If you’re after a bit more work-life balance (or time to finally finish that Duolingo streak), this could be the perfect fit.

Here’s what’s in store:

• KS3 & KS4 French with a supportive team around you

• Set planning and sensible marking expectations

• Calm, organised school with friendly leadership

• A 3-day week that still lets you do what you love—without the Sunday scaries

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has QTS and experience teaching French in UK secondary schools

• Can build great rapport and bring a little joie de vivre to the classroom

• Loves the language and can help pupils feel confident speaking it

• Is reliable, warm, and happy to slot into an existing team

And in return, you’ll get:

• Weekly PAYE pay (no umbrella faff)

• FREE access to our CPD Academy

• A friendly local consultant who knows the schools and speaks your language (well, at least the timetabling part )

• Honest communication and roles that genuinely suit you
