We are seeking an enthusiastic French Teacher to join a dynamic and supportive MFL department in Manchester. Known for its rich cultural diversity and international outlook, this school provides the perfect environment for a teacher who wants to bring the French language and culture to life—from the streets of Paris to the hubs of Francophone Africa and Quebec.

The Role
As a French Teacher, you will be a key part of a collaborative department that values communication over rote learning. You will deliver high-quality lessons across KS3 and KS4, with the opportunity to teach A-Level French for a candidate with strong subject expertise and a passion for literature and film.
Key Responsibilities:
* Interactive Instruction: Planning and delivering lessons that develop fluency in Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing.
* Cultural Immersion: Incorporating authentic resources—such as French cinema, music, and news—to provide students with a holistic understanding of the French-speaking world.
* Exam Success: Guiding GCSE cohorts through AQA or Edexcel specifications, focusing on building high-level spontaneous speaking skills and translation accuracy.
* Inclusive Learning: Implementing creative strategies to engage all learners, including those with EAL and SEND, ensuring that language learning is accessible to everyone.
Why Join This School?
* Manchester’s Global Pulse: Work in a world-class city with a thriving arts scene, excellent transport links, and a community that celebrates internationalism.
* Modern MFL Resources: Benefit from dedicated language labs, digital subscription services (such as Languagenut or This is Language), and interactive classroom tech.
* Collaborative Planning: Join a team that prioritizes "work-smart" strategies, including shared resource banks and collaborative marking to protect your work-life balance.
* Career Development: Access to a robust CPD program, including external examiner training and pathways to Lead Practitioner or Head of Faculty roles.
About You
We are looking for a "Language Ambassador" who can show students that learning French is a passport to the world.
The Ideal Candidate:
* Holds QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and a relevant degree in French or Modern Languages.
* Possesses near-native fluency in French and a high standard of written English.
* Has a proven track record of helping students achieve or exceed their target grades at GCSE.
* Is a passionate, resilient educator who can build positive relationships with students quickly.
