We are looking to recruit a Leaning Mentor who will be responsible for supporting pupils throughout the school.

We are looking for someone who will be able to build relationships and rapport with pupils, parents, carers and colleagues, as well as communicating directly with relevant external agencies, so excellent communication and listening skills with a non-judgmental approach are vital.

Candidates will be qualified to A Level or equivalent and have experience of working under pressure and with confidential information.

Working for The Blue Coat School means that you would be part of the Cranmer Education Trust, a successful, growing Trust which prides itself on looking after its people, offering a high level of support and access to expertise. This is an excellent time to join the team, as we develop collaborative structures and systems to enhance and support our growing family of schools.

Alongside Blue Coat, the Trust is made up of St Anne’s Academy in Middleton and two primary schools - East Crompton St George’s and Mayfield Primary. The Trust also incorporates a teacher training school and the East Manchester Teaching Hub; both of which support the training and development of new and existing teachers across the North West of England. We are also opening a new secondary school in Oldham in 2022 for 1,200 pupils, The Brian Clarke CE Academy. For further details please visit https://careers.cranmereducationtrust.com/.

This position will be based at The Blue Coat School, Oldham, but may from time to time require travel as necessary to collaborate with other schools which are all locally based. 

We offer:

·        Opportunities for professional development in a growing Trust

·        LGPS career average pension scheme including life insurance and dependent's pension 

·        Central Oldham location close to good transport networks

About The Blue Coat CofE School

Welcome to The Blue Coat School  

Mission statement:  Faith – Vision – Nurture  

Welcome to The Blue Coat School website, which we hope will give you a really good insight into our school, and show how our young people are learning how to become everything they can be, and are meant to be.  You will find all the information about student achievement and progress across the curriculum, and links to national performance data and reports, so you can see how well our young people do, and why we are very proud of our academic record.  Just as important, you’ll also find, in the newsletters especially, a picture of life in a dynamic community where students grow in confidence, independence, leadership and resilience, not only in their lessons, but in the breadth of Blue Coat’s provision.  I hope you will also see how the school’s Christian ethos shines through, and that all our young people, of all faiths and denominations, learn to grow together in love, compassion, generosity of spirit, and mutual respect.  If you are an education professional, or would like to join this great profession, you’ll also find links to our work as a National Teaching School and lead school of The Northern Alliance and our work on system leadership, school-to-school support, research and development, and training the best teachers through the School Direct programme.  We look forward to meeting you.  

Mr R Higgins

Headteacher
