Year 6 Teacher 0.6 days (Maternity Cover)

At E-ACT Blackley Academy, we know that the life chances of our pupils are determined by inspirational teachers like you. 

How you can help to inspire our pupils 

We are searching for a Classroom Teacher who will inspire our pupils in the classroom by delivering innovative curricula and giving them the confidence to think big for themselves as they progress through our academy.  

Our academy 

E-ACT Blackley Academy is primary academy in Manchester for children aged between three to eleven years old. Our aim is to deliver educational excellence and to boost the aspirations and achievements of young people.  

Come join our team 

Quite aside from the opportunity to work with pupils whose energy, creativity and enthusiasm never fail to inspire, our academy is: 

One that takes great pride in providing ‘a culture that places the individual child at its heart’ and a ‘school community that works together to secure improvement.’ We want every child and staff member to stand out from the crowd and feel proud and as part of our exciting journey towards achieving world-class status 

A “high energy” and rewarding place to work and our staff make daily positive impact upon our learners. We have a strong belief that if students enjoy learning and are equipped with the tools to succeed, then they will achieve at the highest level. 

Committed to teacher development through E-ACT’s professional learning programme in partnership with leading training providers such as Ambition School Leadership. 

Leading the way in youth mental health through our very own Mental Health First Aid programme – we aim to train every teacher as a mental health first aider. 

A leader in the education sector for outstanding employee benefits including a generous maternity policy and opportunities for flexible working. 

A great place to live and work 

Known throughout the world as the birthplace of the industrial revolution, Greater Manchester is notable for it's cultural and musical exports as well as two of the world's biggest football clubs, it is also home to three E-ACT academies: Royton and Crompton Academy, E-ACT Blackley Academy and The Oldham Academy North.  

There is no shortage of things to do in the city which offers beautiful green spaces and waterways to be explored on foot or bike, quaint market towns and plenty of places to eat, drink and shop. 

Part of the E-ACT family 

We are an E-ACT academy and proud to be part of a community that includes over 18,000 pupils and 2,300 teaching and non-teaching professionals across the country. 

E-ACT multi-academy trust is responsible for 29 academies across the length and breadth of England. 

Our academies can collaborate and share ideas with one another in ways that schools may not be able to. Most importantly, we all feel part of something much bigger as our responsibilities go far beyond the four walls of a single academy and extend to people and their communities across the country. 

We are always on the lookout for dynamic, motivated and enthusiastic people so we can continue to give every one of our pupils the opportunity to explore, solve, create and achieve. 

In return we offer the chance to work with amazing people and inspirational pupils, as well as a great salary and sector-leading work-life balance arrangements. Find out more at www.e-act.org.uk
