Teacher Vacancies
We are always delighted to hear from people who are interested in joining our team of teachers.
If you love languages and like children, then you’ll find being a Little Fidgets teacher incredibly rewarding. Nothing quite beats that truly magical moment when a child says their first word in French or Spanish, or that feeling of real pride when a pupil at your after-school class finds the confidence to say a whole sentence in a foreign language.
As the teaching is part-time, it fits in well with other commitments, such as fetching children from school and school holidays. Our teachers generally run between one and ten classes per week.
We look for people who speak French or Spanish fluently, either native speakers or people with a degree with French or Spanish or people who have spent a considerable amount of time in France or Spain (or Spanish speaking country). You do not need a teaching qualification as we train you. You need to be fit (classes are very active!). All the special resources, lesson plans, training, police checks, insurance etc. are provided so that you can concentrate on the joy of teaching. We provide you with a proper contract of employment and deal with all the tax/National Insurance. Teachers are covered by our employers' liability insurance scheme.
Pay is roughly in line with the hourly rate of a qualified supply teacher however unlike a supply teacher you will not have to spend time at home on preparation and assessment as all this is provided for you. We also pay holiday pay.
At Little Fidgets we believe that the best teachers are ones who really enjoy their job. That’s why we’ve put so much work into developing the Fidgets method to make it just as much fun for teachers to deliver as for children to participate in. Our action songs, puppets and slightly irreverent approach to language learning help to create lots of humorous and magical moments that mean you come out of a lesson with a real buzz and lifted spirits. One of the comments we often hear from our teachers is how pleased they are not only to have a job that enables them to use their language skills, but that also gives them a chance to show others how great language learning can be.
All the children who attend Little Fidgets classes are there because they want to be there, so they are willing, keen and a pleasure to teach. You’ll also find it’s a really sociable activity – not only are you interacting with delightful children but you also build a relationship with nursery staff and parents.
Our lesson plans have been written by qualified teachers and native speakers. The Fidgets method has been tried and tested by a range of teachers in a variety of settings so you know that you are operating a system that really works. You don’t have to spend time on planning and we also provide all the teaching resources so you don’t have to spend the night before a class cutting out flash cards etc. If you’re not a qualified teacher, don’t worry, you don’t need to be, as we will take you through our training process.
