Carmarthenshire County Council is seeking an outstanding, inspirational and dedicated practitioner to join the Bilingual Carmarthenshire team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in supporting learners on their Welsh language journey. The successful candidate will help ensure effective language acquisition by enabling a smooth transition from primary into Welsh‑medium secondary education, while delivering high-quality immersion and/or language support (Gloywi Iaith) provision for targeted groups of learners within secondary schools.

Working closely with primary and secondary schools across Carmarthenshire, the postholder will identify pupils who would benefit from additional language support and provide tailored assistance as they progress into secondary education. Through this work, the successful candidate will help learners build confidence, strengthen their Welsh language skills and achieve successful outcomes within Welsh‑medium education.

The role involves teaching in designated secondary schools across the county, as well as coordinating immersion and language support provision delivered by staff in other secondary schools to ensure a consistent and effective learner experience.

We are looking for a passionate and innovative practitioner with a proven track record of teaching Welsh effectively at Key Stage 2 and/or Key Stage 3.

The postholder will also:

• Work closely with school leaders, teachers and teaching assistants
• Work in partnership with colleagues in immersion centres
• Ensure excellent and equitable secondary immersion and language improvement provision for all learners

A strong understanding of language‑acquisition methodology, Additional Learning Needs (ALN), neurodiversity and trauma‑informed approaches is essential for this role. We expect high standards of teaching, a strong commitment to learner well‑being, and the ability to work effectively as part of an ambitious and professional team.

• A teacher who listens and treats us with respect
• Someone who helps us feel safe, confident and ready to try new things
• Interesting, creative and inspiring lessons that help us make progress
• A teacher who encourages and supports us when things are difficult
• Someone who helps us feel part of a team and celebrates our successes

• The opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of learners
• A supportive and collaborative working environment with a passionate and dedicated professional team
• Excellent professional development opportunities, including specialist training in immersion and language acquisition
• Valuable system‑level experience within a local authority
• A culture that values staff well‑being, collaboration and the sharing of good practice
• An opportunity to join a service that has recently received a highly positive Estyn inspection
