Teacher of MFL - Spanish

Newhouse Academy – part of Hollingworth Learning Trust – has an exciting opportunity for a Teacher of Spanish to join our academy from September 2023.

We are looking for a great practitioner who:

• Holds qualified teacher status; specialising in Spanish.
• Has a real desire to help students achieve all that they can.
• Has values in line with the academy’s priorities of Aspiration, Integrity and Respect.

For the right candidate there is an opportunity for the salary starting point to be negotiated during the interview process. 

For outstanding and experienced teachers, there may also be an opportunity for a recruitment and retention allowance, again, to be negotiated during the interview process.

Newhouse Academy is a comprehensive secondary school, situated close to the M60 in the town of Heywood.  We work closely with our partner school, Hollingworth Academy, and are on a school improvement journey to deliver rising academic standards.

Newhouse Academy has also been chosen as one of 50 schools nationally to gain government funding for building development. This will see further improvement to our school building.

With academy values of Aspiration, Integrity and Respect, we are embedding an ‘Our People’ culture through everything we do and our high expectations of both students and staff are bearing fruit.  We are delighted to have been the best attended secondary school in the borough in 2021/22, (something we plan to emulate during this coming academic year). GCSE examination results for 2022 showed improvement across the board and the number of students achieving a 5+ in English and maths increased by 12%.

This is an exciting opportunity to make your mark at an academy that started its improvement journey in 2020.  We believe in providing a high quality education for students and are committed to the continuous professional development of staff.

If you have a strong character, energy, credibility and the ability to inspire; if you can motivate and challenge others; we’d love you to join us in taking this journey.

We are a friendly and supportive department with a collegiate approach to departmental and curriculum planning. We are seeking a talented and inspiring Spanish specialist to join our team and the post is suitable for both experienced and early careers teachers.

This is a fantastic time to join us as we are currently developing our curriculum intent and implementation and are excited about moving towards delivering Spanish using a Dr Gianfranco Conti inspired EPI approach.

In return, we offer

• Membership of the Teachers’ Pension scheme.
• Funded CPD for nationally recognised qualifications.
• An optional package of health benefits from Medicash.
• Free use of gym facilities.
• Staff activities, including a Wellbeing Café, running/cycling/walking group, ‘Cake Friday’.
• Ample car parking.
