Summary

French Teacher - Bring the World to Blackburn!

Are you a fluent and enthusiastic French Teacher (QTS) looking for a fresh role in a town with a rich history and a global outlook? We are seeking a dedicated linguist to join a vibrant MFL department at a respected Secondary School in Blackburn.

If you can transform a classroom into a "petit coin de France" and have the skills to inspire students across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (GCSE), we want you on our team!

The Opportunity: Inspiring Linguists in Lancashire

This is a fantastic opening for a proactive QTS French Teacher to join a supportive secondary setting in Blackburn. Whether you are looking for a long-term maternity cover, a fixed-term contract, or regular supply work, your role will be vital in helping students bridge cultural gaps and master a second language.

You will be part of a community that values hard work and academic progress, helping students find their voice in a globalized world.

Your Key Responsibilities

  • Engaging Language Delivery: Plan and teach interactive French lessons, focusing on the core pillars of Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing.

  • GCSE Mastery: Use your expertise to guide Year 11 students through their final assessments, with a particular focus on improving confidence in oral exams.

  • Cultural Connection: Use authentic resources-from French news to popular music-to make the language relevant and exciting for Blackburn students.

  • Progress Tracking: Provide constructive feedback and use assessments to identify and support students who need extra help.

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

What We Are Looking For

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

  • Linguistic Fluency: High-level proficiency in French, with excellent grammar and pronunciation.

  • Secondary Experience: A proven track record of teaching the French curriculum at KS3 and KS4.

  • Adaptability: The "get up and go" attitude to join a new department and build immediate rapport with students and staff.

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

Why Choose Blackburn with Randstad?

  • Competitive Pay: Daily rates from £150 - £220, paid weekly.

  • Local Expertise: Work in a town with a unique industrial heritage and a strong focus on school improvement.

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

  • Referral Rewards: Earn £300 through our "Refer a Friend" scheme for every successful placement!
