New Park Academy is pleased to advertise that a post exists for an experienced, enthusiastic, and motivated teacher to join our dedicated team to become a general classroom teacher with a specialism in Science. Both secondary and primary trained teachers are welcome to apply. The ability to teach Science from KS2 ability level to GCSE Foundation standard is essential.

New Park Academy is situated in the inner-city of Salford and provides education for some of the most vulnerable and at the same time most challenging pupils with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties. The school operates as an important element in the LA Behaviour Strategy as part of the continuum of provision.

New Park Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

You will assist other staff in aspects of behavioural management, teaching and learning, alternative curriculum opportunities, assessment, and be able to demonstrate that you have:
• Teaching experience with evidence of delivering outstanding lessons, including experience in tackling disaffection, learning, social, emotional and mental health issues
• The confidence and ability to teach across the curriculum from KS2 level of ability to Foundation Level (old NC levels from L1-L5/6)
• The ability to achieve high standards of learning, pupil achievement and progress as part of a team
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the capacity to lead and support others
• A record of continuing professional development
• Integrity, a high level of resilience and a determination to succeed – sometimes ‘against the odds’.

We are offering you an opportunity to further develop our Science Department within an exciting and forward-looking provision that removes barriers to learning and anticipates the future role of special schools.

We would welcome applications from experienced teachers, from both from KS 2 and KS3/4 if they feel confident that they can meet the challenges of the job, both in regards to the pupil group and the additional responsibilities.

Successful applicants will need to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure.
Visits to the school are most welcome but need to be scheduled after school hours and should be made by prior arrangement with the Executive Head Teacher who also welcomes an informal chat over the phone to discuss the position. Please get in touch by contacting 0161 532 3254 or 07906 610782.
