Love languages? Love inspiring young people? This one’s worth a look.

We’re working with a welcoming secondary school in Leeds that’s ready to add a brilliant French and Spanish teacher to their team this September. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been doing this for years, there’s something here for you.

Think supportive leadership, a team that actually shares resources (no gatekeeping here), and students who are engaged and keen to learn.

You’ll be walking into:

A well-established MFL department with a collaborative feel
Strong behaviour systems, so you can focus on teaching, not firefighting
A leadership team that backs their staff and values work-life balance
Opportunities to shape the curriculum and bring your ideas to life

What you’ll be doing

Teaching French and Spanish across KS3 and KS4
Planning and delivering engaging, confidence-building lessons
Creating a classroom where students feel comfortable giving it a go (even if their accent’s a work in progress!)
Supporting students to achieve their best, whatever their starting point

Perfect for ECTs

Starting your teaching career can feel like a big leap. This school gets that.

You’ll have:

A structured induction programme
A dedicated mentor who’s actually got time for you
Shared planning and resources to ease the workload
A team that remembers what it’s like to be new

Ideal for experienced teachers

If you’re looking for a fresh start in a school that respects your experience, this could be it.

Autonomy in your classroom, no micromanaging
Opportunities to take on responsibility if you want it
A culture that values ideas, not just policies
A chance to fall back in love with teaching

What you’ll need

UK QTS (or equivalent)
Ability to teach both French and Spanish
A positive, engaging approach in the classroom
A genuine passion for languages and learning
