We adopt an ‘anonymous recruitment’ approach to shortlisting. Recruiting managers will not have access to personal information, including your name and contact details, until a shortlisting decision has been made.
We are committed to recruiting, retaining, and developing a workforce that reflects the communities we serve. Sharing your equality monitoring data allows us to assess the impact our recruitment and employment policies and practices have and gives us the opportunity to improve them where possible. Equality monitoring information is not accessible by recruiting managers at any stage.

Come and join our team
Are you passionate about the Welsh language and committed to helping young people develop their confidence and pride in Wales' rich linguistic heritage?
We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented Teacher of Welsh to join our dedicated and supportive team. This is an exciting opportunity to inspire students of all abilities, deliver engaging and creative lessons, and contribute to a thriving learning community.
Contract: Fixed-term maternity cover from 05 October 2026. The appointment will continue until the earliest of:
31 August 2027, or
the return of the substantive postholder from maternity leave.
We are looking for someone who:
Has a passion for teaching Welsh and promoting bilingualism.
Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or is working towards it.
Has excellent subject knowledge and strong classroom practice.
Can motivate, challenge and inspire learners to achieve their full potential.
Is committed to high standards of teaching, learning and student wellbeing.
We offer:
A welcoming and supportive school community.
Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
Well-resourced classrooms and a collaborative department.
The chance to make a real difference to young people's lives.
Ysgol Coedcae is a popular, thriving organisation, serving a very diverse community in an urban part of Llanelli, within the Carmarthenshire local authority area.
Our school finds itself in a privileged location: we are within a few miles of the M4, which allows for commuting, travel and convenient ease of access to Cardiff city with all its retail, leisure and hospitality opportunities, yet we benefit greatly from our proximity to the coast and countryside. In fact, Gower is a stone's throw from our school and the Brecon Beacons and Pembroke Coast national parks are an easy ride away.
Ours is a mixed secondary school for 11-16 year olds. There are currently 850 pupils on roll. Most of our pupils live in the immediate catchment area of our school, with some coming on the register as preferred placements.
We are privileged to be able to deploy a strong team of 54 support staff and 56 teachers here at Ysgol Coedcae. Teaching and associate staff are caring, talented and hard-working colleagues, and there is a strong commitment to continuous improvement. We take professional development very seriously and aim to nurture the talents of all colleagues. Involving and empowering all staff is important to us in our drive to raise standards and we really strive to work as one team, in the best interests of our pupils.
Please contact Terry Jones on 01554 75057 if you have any questions regarding the role.
