Jobs

We at Smile Education are currently working with a secondary school in the Loughborough area who are looking to recruit an MFL Teacher specialising in French or German from August 2026.

The school is looking for someone who can bring energy and confidence into the classroom and make languages enjoyable for students across KS3 and KS4. Whether you specialise in French, German, or can offer both, this is a brilliant opportunity to join a supportive department within a well-run secondary school.

This role would suit a teacher who enjoys building positive relationships with students, creating engaging lessons, and helping students grow in confidence with speaking and understanding languages.

The school itself has a welcoming atmosphere, supportive leadership team, and strong behaviour systems in place, allowing teachers to focus on teaching and learning rather than constant behaviour management. Staff wellbeing is genuinely valued, and the department works closely together to share ideas and resources.

• Long-term opportunity with potential to become permanent

The school is looking for someone who:

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Has experience teaching French or German within a secondary school setting
• Can deliver engaging and interactive lessons
• Builds strong relationships with students and staff
• Has good classroom management skills
• Brings enthusiasm and positivity into the classroom
