You will be responsible for creating an immersive classroom environment where students feel empowered to master a new language and explore the rich traditions of French-speaking countries.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Cultural Enrichment: Incorporate cultural authentic materials - such as music, film, and literature - to make language learning relevant and exciting.
• Monitor Progress: Provide clear, constructive feedback and use assessments to identify and close learning gaps.
• Inclusive Environment: Maintain a positive and well-managed classroom that encourages every student to "have a go" at speaking a new language.

What We Are Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Essential, along with a degree in French or a related linguistic field.
• Fluency: Near-native or high-level fluency in French, with a strong grasp of grammar and phonetics.
• Secondary Experience: Proven success teaching French within the UK National Curriculum at KS3 and KS4.
• Adaptability: The ability to step into a new department and build immediate rapport with students and staff.
• Compliance: A current Enhanced Child DBS on the update service (or a willingness to obtain one).

Why Join Us in Preston?

• Competitive Pay: Daily rates from £150 - £220, paid weekly.
• Supportive Community: Work in a city with a diverse educational landscape and excellent transport links.
