Are you an accomplished linguist dedicated to bridging cultural divides through the power of language?
Do you possess the pedagogical dexterity to cultivate both grammatical precision and spontaneous fluency in your students?
We are seeking a high-caliber Qualified French Teacher (QTS) for a permanent position at a wonderful Secondary School in Cambridge, commencing this September. This school is a hub for international mindedness and is looking for a specialist who can deliver high-impact lessons that inspire a genuine love for the Francophone world. If you are looking for a long-term career move where you can lead a classroom toward linguistic mastery and cultural appreciation, this is the role for you.

- Cultural Enrichment: Integrate Francophone literature, cinema, and current affairs into the curriculum to provide real-world context and depth.
- Curriculum Innovation: As a permanent staff member, you will contribute to the evolution of the MFL schemes of work, ensuring they remain diverse, challenging, and inclusive.

- Collaborative Spirit: A desire to work closely with the MFL team to organise trips, exchange programs, and international celebrations.
- Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad).
