VACANCY
Teacher of Maths (with a £2000 incentive for specialist KS3 teacher)
Qualified Teacher Pay Range
Required from January 2025
An opportunity has arisen within our successful and highly skilled team for a teacher to join our school as a teacher of Key Stage 3 Maths. At Turton our children are fiercely loyal, and so we are looking for someone who is just as committed to them. We believe that Key stage 3 is crucial to our students’ academic and social development and that it is central to their future success. As such, we are looking for someone that is as passionate about these formative high school years as we are; someone that understands the varying and complex needs of teaching years 7 9 and enjoys doing so. We are seeking a highly skilled practitioner, who flourishes by teaching the building blocks of maths and is able to ignite curiosity and wonder.
This is an opportunity for someone to work with our collaborative, forward-thinking and reflective maths team. You would be joining a team of passionate, committed, hard-working and supportive teachers. The timetable will consist of at least two-thirds key stage 3 classes.
Teachers are our most valued resource; thus, professional development is at the heart of our practice. We run our innovative and highly effective ‘Triad’ programme a collaborative programme that supports everyone’s development, no matter what their level of experience. This is within a school culture that values all staff, promotes well-being and prioritises a manageable workload.
Teaching is an ever-changing job, but the things we can guarantee are:
- Location: Bromley Cross (rural suburbs of Bolton)
- Train station 2 minutes from school
- A unique ECF programme that runs for 4 years (not just 2)
- Every ECT has a dedicated coach and subject guide
- Opportunities for career development
- Bespoke CPD opportunities
- Contract: permanent
- Flexible working considered
- A warm, caring, dedicated set of colleagues, who are very keen to learn from you
- A £2000 incentive to deliver high quality teaching to our key stage 3 students.
