Spanish Teacher - Bring the Hispanic Heart to Wigan!

Are you an energetic and fluent Spanish Teacher (QTS) looking to share your passion for languages in a town with a strong sense of community? We are seeking an inspiring linguist to join a dedicated MFL department at a respected Secondary School in Wigan.

If you can explain the difference between ser and estar with ease and have the skills to motivate students in the home of the historic Wigan Pier and the famous "Wigan Kebab," we want to hear from you!

The Opportunity: Inspiring New Perspectives in Greater Manchester

A fantastic opening has arisen for a proactive QTS Spanish Teacher to join a supportive secondary setting in Wigan. Whether you are looking for a long-term maternity cover, a fixed-term contract, or flexible supply work, your role will be vital in helping students develop a global mindset and master a second language.

In a town known for its grit and friendliness, you will play a key role in ensuring that Spanish is accessible, fun, and academically rewarding for all students across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (GCSE).

Your Key Responsibilities

• Interactive Language Teaching: Plan and deliver engaging Spanish lessons that focus on the core skills of Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing.

• GCSE Success: Prepare Year 11 students for their final assessments, focusing on exam board specifications and building the confidence required for high-stakes oral exams.

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

• Progress Monitoring: Use assessment data to provide constructive feedback and implement interventions for students who need extra support.

• Classroom Management: Maintain high standards of behavior, fostering an inclusive environment where students feel confident to practice their spoken Spanish.

What We Are Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Essential, along with a degree in Spanish or a related linguistic field.

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

• Secondary Experience: Proven success teaching the Spanish curriculum at KS3 and KS4 levels.

• Adaptability: The professional maturity to join a new department and build immediate rapport with students and staff.

• DBS Check: A current Enhanced Child DBS on the update service (or a willingness to obtain one promptly).

Why Choose Wigan with Randstad?

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

• Ideal Location: Work in a town with excellent transport links between Manchester and Liverpool.

• Total Flexibility: Gain diverse experience without the long-term commitments of a permanent post.
