Teacher of Science

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

We are looking for a great practitioner who:

• Holds qualified teacher status; specialising in Science;
• Has a proven track record of success at Key Stage 4;
• 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.

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, (an outstanding local secondary school); and are on a school improvement journey to deliver rising academic standards.

We have been chosen as one of 50 schools nationally to gain government funding for building development, which will see a brand new build for our Science and Technology departments, set to start this year.  Within the Science department, we offer AQA Combined Science Trilogy along with AQA GCSE’s in the separate Science subjects.

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.

In return, we offer:

• Membership of the Teachers’ Pension scheme
• Funded CPD for nationally recognised qualifications
• A 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
