As the Welsh Government continues to promote its goal of reaching one million Welsh speakers by 2050, the demand for bilingual teachers is rising steadily across schools in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, and beyond.
Why Is Welsh Important in Schools?
The Welsh language is an integral part of the country’s culture, history, and identity. In many primary and secondary schools, especially those designated as Welsh-medium or bilingual, the ability to teach or communicate confidently in Welsh is not just a bonus—it’s a necessity. Bilingualism enriches students' educational experiences, enhances cognitive development, and strengthens cultural ties.
The Demand for Welsh-Speaking Teachers
Schools across South Wales are actively seeking supply teachers, cover supervisors, and teaching assistants who can deliver lessons in Welsh or support bilingual classrooms. Whether you're newly qualified or have years of experience, being able to teach in Welsh opens doors to more job opportunities, longer-term placements, and higher daily pay rates.
Benefits of Being a Welsh-Speaking Educator
- Access to roles in Welsh-medium schools.
- Increased demand and job security.
- Competitive pay rates.
- Opportunity to contribute to the growth of the Welsh language.
- Ability to connect more deeply with pupils and local communities.
