Job Description

About us

LCF is a small franchise business based in Bolton and operating around Greater Manchester & Lancashire. We are a professional team of teachers and tutors, and our goal is to spread our passion for languages with the help of fluent speakers of French and Spanish like you!

Our work environment is fun, high energy and happy and we use our fun course, songs, games and stories to spread the love of language learning to primary-age children.

Le Club Francais & El Club Espanol provides fun language classes and clubs for children as a franchise of LCF Clubs Limited. LCF have been operating in the UK since 1985 and prioritise fun learning as a way of speeding up the acquisition process for children. In other words we make learning = fun! Our stimulating courses allow children to learn with a variety of fun songs, games, stories and interactive activities, and LCF also offers an in-school programme to provide tuition for children in the curriculum.

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and outgoing Spanish-speaking

Club leader for our FUN Club Espanol after-school clubs at a school

in the Fulwood, Preston area.

There are also potential opportunities for Spanish at after school/lunchtime in Chorley and Wigan, please mention if you're interested in these during our communications or apply for them separately.

For the after-school clubs, the teacher will need to be available to arrive at the school around 3.15pm, and leaving by 4.45pm at latest in most cases. You'll be paid in relation to the teaching time but it's important to understand the responsibility required of being on time and caring for the children appropriately. The club is currently on Thursdays, so preferably will continue on this day. There is great potential for more work if successful, dependent on experience and ability to travel.

Teachers should ideally have a car or own transport. Some schools may be within reach of public transport but not always.

The role is to start as soon as possible in Autumn term, ideally from September and you'll be taking over from an existing club leader.

Opportunities may also be available with more new clubs after school or at lunchtime in the surrounding areas if you are looking to expand the hours. However, it might suit someone who already has other work on a couple of days, or at weekend, that this job could fit around.

We require a suitable person who has some experience with younger children and/or teaching children in Primary School, or perhaps other school settings or similar.

You MUST:-

be fluent or near fluent in Spanish (Being fluent in French too is a bonus) be available to work at the above specified times be enthusiastic about working with children. be living near the Preston area, or willing to travel on a long-term basis (ideally should have a car or willing to use public transport) be able to commit to the long term position of club leader for this clubs be willing to work as a self-employed tutor

part-time.

Please explain your availability on your application cover notes or CV.

You must be comfortable (and enthusiastic about) working with children from 4-11. It is preferred that the applicant has some teaching experience here, and it would be valuable to have experience working with children from 4-11 in a school or childcare setting.

Some training will be given, but to be successful, it is important that you have a good understanding of and fluency communicating in English. You will also receive access to LCF's teacher training on demand, as well as ongoing safeguarding training, the first of which must be completed before starting work.

As this is an urgent position we cannot accept applicants who are NOT already living in the local area, and we will be not be accepting any applicants who do not demonstrate that they live in the North West of England on their CV or covering letter.

Those who wish to work for us in future may send us a CV clearly stating that they may be moving to the area in future.

Salary is dependent on the type of work - club/in-school and the number of children and length of session, with adjusted rates for half-hourly classes and rising with experience gained. You will receive a fee based on a the numbers of children you are teaching, rewarding you for growing your group.

Our ideal candidates are either parents who need an extra income, students (who have consistent availability), teachers who have taken a break from teaching, or are retired, but wish to teach part time, but we welcome any application from people of all walks of life. Due to the timing of after school clubs it is imperative if you have children that your own children have a permanent childcare plan in place for you to accept this position, as parents depend upon us to be present for their own childcare.

Please send your CV if you have one, or explain your availability and experience in your message to us. If you don't live in/near Preston, this job will likely not be suitable unless you have a car due to the role consisting of only one hour's work.
