French Teacher - Open New Horizons in Wigan!

Are you an enthusiastic French Teacher (QTS) looking to bring your linguistic talents to a town with a strong community heart and a proud heritage? We are seeking a dedicated educator to join an MFL faculty at a respected Secondary School in Wigan.

If you have the passion to inspire students in the home of the world-famous Wigan Pier and a talent for making French accessible to all learners, we want you on our team!

The Opportunity: Inspiring Linguists in Greater Manchester

This is a brilliant opening for a proactive QTS French Teacher to take on a temporary or contract role (such as a long-term sickness cover or maternity leave) in Wigan.

Schools in the Wigan borough are known for their supportive environments and commitment to broadening students' perspectives. You will be responsible for ensuring that French is taught with energy and clarity, helping students across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (GCSE) develop the confidence to communicate in a second language.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Dynamic Language Delivery: Plan and teach interactive French lessons that focus on the four key skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing.

• GCSE Support: Utilize your knowledge of exam specifications to guide Year 11 students through their final assessments, particularly in honing their oral exam performance.

• Cultural Immersive: Use authentic resources-such as French media, film, and music-to make the language relevant and exciting for Wigan students.

• Track Student Success: Provide clear, constructive feedback and use assessment data to identify and support students who need extra help.

• Positive Presence: Maintain high standards of classroom management, fostering an inclusive environment where students feel safe to practice their speaking skills.

What We Are Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Mandatory, accompanied by a degree in French or a related linguistic field.

• Fluency: High-level proficiency in French, with a strong grasp of grammar and phonetics.

• Secondary Experience: Proven success teaching the French curriculum within the UK National Curriculum at KS3 and KS4.

• Adaptability: The ability to join a new school and immediately build rapport with students and staff.

• Compliance: A current Enhanced Child DBS on the update service (or a willingness to apply for one).

Why Choose Wigan with Randstad?

• Competitive Pay: Daily rates from £150 - £230, paid weekly to reflect your specialist expertise.

• Great Location: Work in a town with excellent transport links and a vibrant community spirit.

• Total Flexibility: Enjoy the freedom of temporary or contract work while gaining experience in different school settings.

• Referral Rewards: Earn a £300 bonus for every fellow teacher you refer to us who is successfully placed!
