Job description

Write a short description of your company, a boilerplate of the business, service or product that you offer. Include your business idea and the target audience. This text is primarily supposed to be descriptive, not selling.



A welcoming and academically focused 11–18 secondary school in Wetherby is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Early Career Teacher of French to join its Modern Foreign Languages department. This role is ideal for an ECT who is passionate about language learning and is looking to begin their career in a school with strong systems, excellent mentoring and a positive staff culture.

Languages are valued across the school, with a clear focus on building confidence, cultural awareness and strong communication skills.

The Opportunity

You will teach French across Key Stages 3 and 4, delivering a carefully structured curriculum that develops students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing skills progressively.

At KS3, lessons focus on phonics, vocabulary acquisition and sentence-building, helping students gain confidence in speaking from an early stage. At GCSE, teaching is structured around clear exam preparation, retrieval practice and regular opportunities for extended writing and translation.

As an ECT, you’ll be supported in developing effective classroom routines, assessment strategies and approaches to teaching grammar in a clear and accessible way.

ECT Support and Induction

The school has a strong reputation for supporting Early Career Teachers and offers a well-planned induction programme. You will benefit from:

  • A reduced teaching timetable during your ECT year

  • A dedicated MFL mentor with weekly scheduled support meetings

  • Structured CPD aligned with the Early Career Framework

  • Opportunities to observe experienced language teachers

  • Clear guidance around planning, marking and workload expectations

Support is practical and developmental, allowing you to build confidence steadily.

The MFL Department

The Modern Foreign Languages department is a friendly, collaborative team that shares resources, schemes of work and assessments. Planning is streamlined to support ECTs while still allowing space for creativity and personal teaching style.

Department meetings focus on pedagogy, student progress and sharing effective strategies, particularly around speaking and writing confidence.

The School

This Good-rated secondary school is known for its calm classrooms, strong pastoral care and respectful student behaviour. Students respond well to clear routines and positive relationships, making it an excellent environment for an ECT to develop strong classroom management skills.

Leadership is approachable and supportive, with a genuine commitment to staff wellbeing and professional development.

The Ideal Candidate

You will:

  • Hold (or be completing) QTS

  • Have strong subject knowledge in French

  • Be reflective, organised and eager to learn

  • Value consistency, structure and positive classroom relationships

  • Be enthusiastic about promoting language learning

Why Start Your Career Here?

  • Strong ECT mentoring and induction

  • Supportive and collaborative MFL department

  • Calm learning environment and positive behaviour

  • A school that genuinely invests in early career teachers

If you’re a French ECT looking for a role in a school that will support and develop you from day one, we’d be delighted to receive your CV.
