French Language Assistant

The role

Westminster School is seeking a passionate and fluent French Language Assistant to join our vibrant Modern Languages Department on a part time basis.

The successful candidate will play a central role in developing students' oral proficiency in French, working almost exclusively in the target language to create an immersive and engaging linguistic experience. Teaching will primarily involve KS4 pupils in small groups, alongside KS5 students in one-to-one sessions, pairs or small groups.

Working closely with class teachers, they will ensure that oral lessons complement the wider curriculum and the department's overall teaching approach. Beyond the classroom, there is an expectation of involvement in the broader life of the department, including contributing to societies, events and activities that enrich our students' engagement with language learning.

The ideal candidate will be an enthusiastic ambassador for the French language and a passionate linguist, who can demonstrate fluency, strong literacy skills and a deep understanding of French-speaking societies and cultural issues. They will be patient, encouraging and committed to inspiring a love of language in young people.
