Summary

French Teacher - Inspire Global Connections in Preston!

Are you a passionate and fluent French Teacher (QTS) looking for an exciting new role in the heart of Preston? We are seeking a linguist who can bring the language and culture of the Francophone world to life for students at a respected Secondary School.

If you have the subject expertise to deliver high-quality French lessons across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (GCSE) and a talent for building student confidence in speaking, listening, and writing, we want you on our team!

The Opportunity: Opening Doors Through Language

This is a fantastic opening for a proactive QTS French Teacher to join a dedicated MFL (Modern Foreign Languages) department in Preston. Whether you are looking for a long-term maternity cover or a flexible supply contract, this role offers the chance to work in a school that values global citizenship and academic achievement.

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

  • Deliver Engaging Lessons: Plan and teach interactive French lessons for KS3 and KS4, focusing on the four key skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing.

  • GCSE Success: Utilize your knowledge of exam board specifications (AQA/Edexcel) to prepare Year 11 students for their final assessments and speaking exams.

  • 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.

  • Professional Growth: Gain experience in top-tier MFL departments with the full support of the Randstad team.
