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.

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 other outstanding schools in the MAT - St James’s C of E High School, Canon Slade School and more recently Bury C of E High School, sharing good practice and working collaboratively in the best interests of our students. 

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 part time RE Teacher on a permanent basis, starting in September 2022.

The successful candidate will be:

 be an acknowledged practitioner with a clear understanding of the characteristics of high-quality teaching and proven experience of teaching across the whole age and ability range

 motivate both colleagues and students to work hard and try their best through passing on to them their infectious enthusiasm and passion for teaching!

 actively share good practice and seek to explore ways to improve their own and others’ teaching 

 work hard to ensure all students make at least expected progress irrespective of their starting point and individual needs

 understand that behaviour management starts with the quality of teaching in the classroom

 demonstrate leadership qualities including personal resilience, drive and initiative and role model those personal qualities we wish to see in all our staff and instill in our young people 

In return we can offer:

 fantastic facilities

 a supportive and encouraging staff team

 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
