The Role

Greenfield E-ACT Academy - Class Teacher (Maternity Cover)

At Greenfield E-ACT Academy we know just how important it is to think big and to help break those glass ceilings faced by young people today. Together we can encourage our pupils to step out from their comfort zones, build self-esteem and broaden their horizons. We believe in looking beyond textbooks and whiteboards, and are committed to developing our pupils by enabling them to challenge themselves in new ways and supporting them to maintain their emotional and physical wellbeing.

We’re searching for a teacher who will inspire our pupils by delivering innovative curricula and by giving them the confidence to think big for themselves as they progress through our academy. The position we are offering is full time (32.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday) and is a temporary maternity cover contract. We require the candidate to commence employment on 01/09/2022 ready for the new academic year. Please note, this position is not suitable for Early Careers Teachers as we cannot confirm an end date of the contract due to the maternity cover nature of the post.

There is a real buzz about Greenfield E-ACT Academy and the rate at which our pupils progress, but don’t just take our word for it and come and see us for yourself! We always encourage candidates to get in touch with questions and requests for academy visits so you can see how fantastic our academy really is, please contact the main school reception to arrange a visit.
