Duchéne is best known for her work as Miss Constance Hardbroom, the strict Deputy Head and Potions Teacher on the popular TV series The Worst Witch. Having stayed with the programme for its three-year run, and appearing in the first episode of its 2001 spinoff Weirdsister College, "The All Seeing Eye", Duchêne disappointed many fans by failing to return for the second spinoff, The New Worst Witch (2005–2006). Quote from Kate Duchene: "In answer to your question yes, I was asked to do Miss Hardbroom for the new series but I was doing a different job and I didn't really want to, I loved it don't get me wrong but I did it for three years which is quite a long time, you can't do the same part for too long or you forget who you are (not really it just gets a bit predictable) better to stop while you still enjoy it." She was asked to audition for a similar role to Miss Hardbroom in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001). However, she refused as she felt she should stay loyal to The Worst Witch!
