We require an energetic and creative person who may be seeking to gain experience working with young people and develop an understanding of how to support their learning.  It would suit a recent graduate interested in a future career in education or related field who is keen to learn more about students’ complex and additional needs and the best ways to overcome them.  You must have warmth and empathy to establish relationships based on trust and respect with students.  Resilience, flexibility and the ability to work collaboratively are essential qualities for this role which will be part of a skilful and experienced team that continuously reviews and adapts its work to secure the best outcomes for students.  

We offer:

• Opportunities for professional development in a growing Trust

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

• Generous holiday entitlement and sick pay scheme, increasing with length of service 

• A very convenient location with access to motorway networks (a 2-minute drive from Junction 19 of the M62), and with buses and trams close by. 

This is an exciting time for our school our staff: St Anne’s joined the Cranmer Education Trust in March 2021, which is a growing community of multi faith, multi-talented schools across North East Manchester.  The Trust is led by The Blue Coat School – a nationally recognised outstanding secondary and National Teaching School, which also consists of Mayfield Primary School and St George’s Primary School, both Ofsted ‘good’ schools.  In September 2021 the Trust opened the East Manchester Teaching Hub. The Trust will ensure that our schools continue to flourish and improve and provide enhanced opportunities for pupils and staff.

We work collaboratively, share good practice and have a Trust-wide approach to development.  All schools are partners in Manchester Nexus, our SCITT.  All schools bring their expertise to share.  We need to make sure we have the right people in the right place doing the job that is needed to build excellent provision for our children and young people.  Staff are supported and developed professionally to make sure they can do that and are valued and recognised for their work.
