Are you passionate about helping every child succeed and improve their life chances?

Are you prepared to work collaboratively for the benefit of young people?

Will you offer children the opportunity to experience “life in all its fullness” by doing what it takes, no matter what their starting point or social challenges?

If so, Bolton St Catherine’s Academy would love to hear from you!

We are a 3-16 all age fully inclusive Academy on an exciting journey to become an outstanding organisation and are delighted to be able to offer state-of-the-art facilities in a new £36 million building providing staff with the opportunity to teach in a cutting edge and vibrant environment.

It is an exciting time to be joining us as we witness the hard work invested into our Key Stage 4 outcomes improving in line with our excellent primary and 6th form phases. In 2018 we joined the then recently formed Bishop Fraser Trust, a C of E multi academy trust, providing a great opportunity to work closely with the two outstanding schools in the MAT - St James’s C of E High School and Canon Slade School, sharing good practice and building on the much needed improvement work and progress that has been taking place over these past two years.

The schools of The Bishop Fraser Trust aim to offer:

  • A high quality, inclusive and distinctive education
  • A caring and nurturing environment based on our Christian values, recognising the uniqueness of each child.

We are looking to recruit a full time Cover Teacher on a permanent basis, starting from December 2021.

The post holder will be an individual who will:

  • demonstrates flexibility, good teamwork and a commitment to the Academy's values: Believe, Strive, Care and Achieve
  • manages student learning through effective delivery of provided lesson plans, ensuring continuity and progression
  • facilitates and encourages a learning experience which provides students with the opportunity to achieve their individual potential
  • contributes to raising standards of student attainment throughout the Academy
  • motivates students to work hard and try their best 
  • actively shares what works well and seeks to explore ways to improve their own and others’ practice
  • works hard to ensure all students are engaged in their learning irrespective of their starting point and individual needs
  • understands that behaviour management starts with the quality of teaching in the classroom
  • demonstrates personal resilience and role models those personal qualities we wish to instill in our young people
  • ideally able to cover both primary and secondary

In return we can offer:

  • fantastic facilities
  • a supportive and encouraging staff team
  • a long weekend at the end of each November in honour of Saint Catherine’s day 
  • a laptop to use whilst in employment
  • a rigorous and motivational weekly programme of continuous professional development and a pathway to middle and senior leadership opportunities across the schools in the MAT 
  • a paid premium to a Healthcare Cash Plan to claim back contributions towards dental, optical and other medical costs
  • 24/7 access to an Employee Assistance Programme
  • a lunch allowance for those colleagues volunteering to assist in lunchtime duties or activities
