Job overview
Due to the growing popularity of the academy and a rapid growth in student numbers, we are seeking to appoint a committed and dynamic teacher of English to join our team from Easter or September 2021.
The Co-op Academy Manchester opened in September 2010 in a new building and is sponsored by the Co-operative Group, which is one of Manchester’s largest businesses.

This is an exciting time to join us: due to the academy’s reputation in the area there are plenty of opportunities for progression for the right candidate.

About Co-op Academy Manchester

The academy, based in Higher Blackley in North Manchester, has over 1,600 students on roll and is part of Co-op Academies Trust.
Co-op Academy Manchester was recently judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in March 2023. Ofsted said that:
“Leaders, trustees and governors strive for all pupils at Co-op Academy Manchester to be successful. Pupils are encouraged to demonstrate the ‘ways of being Co-op’ in all that they do.”
“Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They use their expertise to help pupils to learn well in lessons. Teachers who are not specialists in a subject receive appropriate and effective subject-specific training. This enables these teachers to deliver the curriculum equally well.”
“Leaders have thought carefully about the curriculum that they want all pupils to learn, including those with SEND. The curriculum is well organised. Subject leaders have thought deeply about the key knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which this content should be taught.”
All academies in our Trust are united by our Ways of Being Co-op.
These are:
- Do what matters most
- Be yourself, always
- Show you care
- Succeed together
We are looking for colleagues who are up for a challenge; who want to make a real difference to the lives of the children they work with; who are committed to their own professional development and who want to be outstanding teachers, classroom assistants, administrators, leaders, and support workers across a wide range of roles in our academy.
We offer:
- Leaders within the faculty who are serious about reducing unnecessary workload
- Centralised resourcing of English lessons
- Excellent facilities
- The opportunity to work in a highly successful academy with a growing reputation as a high-performing educational setting.
- Significant opportunities for professional development and growth within the academy and the Trust.
- The opportunity to work under the ethics and values of the Co-op.
- Co-op Academies Trust benefits package.
