Temporary MFL Teacher

Are you an enthusiastic and committed Languages teacher looking for a flexible opportunity this term?

Quokka Education is currently supporting a welcoming and well-regarded secondary school in Basingstoke, looking for MFL cover from June 1st to July 17th.

The role will mainly involve teaching French, with possibly some German.

The timetable would be:

Blue Week – Tuesday to Friday
Red Week – Monday to Friday

This could work particularly well for someone looking for shorter-term supply work, as Year 11 students are now coming off timetable for their GCSE exams, which is naturally beginning to reduce timetables in some schools.

There is no planning or marking involved - the role will simply involve delivering pre-set lessons and keeping students engaged in the classroom.

About the School

This is a welcoming and well-regarded secondary school with a strong reputation locally. Staff are supported well by leadership, behaviour is managed effectively, and there’s a positive atmosphere across the school.

The Languages department in particular has built a strong culture around teamwork, creativity, and student engagement. It’s the kind of environment where teachers are trusted, supported, and encouraged to bring energy and ideas into the classroom.

We’re looking for teachers who are:

• Qualified with QTS, QTLS, or equivalent

• Confident teaching French at secondary level

• Reliable, adaptable, and positive in their approach

• Passionate about languages and student engagement

What we offer:

• Competitive pay rates

• Job shares can be considered

• Ongoing support from Quokka Education

• Clear and honest communication throughout the process
