French Language Assistant

We are seeking a part-time French speaking Foreign Language Assistant for 20 hours per week to start in September 2025. The successful applicant will be an enthusiastic speaker of French, who is both academically strong and flexible and has the ability to inspire and motivate students in the disciplines of the subject.

The role involves working with individual students and small groups of students in your native language - mostly practising and coaching them in speaking, but also supporting in other areas. It also involves team-teaching with teachers and classes. We also ask FLAs to help prepare authentic and up-to-date listening and reading resources.

Finally, we ask FLAs to support bilingual and semi-bilingual pupils who may need individual practice in specific skills - notably speaking or writing.

The appointed candidate will teach mainly in the age range 11-18, but there will also be opportunities to work with younger pupils in our Infant and Junior Division. The department is always keen to respond to individual interests and enthusiasms.

Experience in teaching can be helpful, but is not essential. The successful candidate will be expected to work collaboratively and supportively with colleagues, and demonstrate resilience and ability to work well under pressure.

All employees of the school must display commitment to the protection and safeguarding of children and young people.
