Are you ready to inspire and lead?
At Co-op Swinton, we are seeking a dynamic Second in Department for Mathematics to guide curriculum, foster collaboration, and elevate student outcomes! As part of Co-op Academies Trust, you will have the opportunity to innovate, inspire, and raise achievement levels across the school while working within a supportive leadership team.
Our aim is to ensure that our students are given every opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background. We are looking to appoint a second in department who shares our vision for an ambitious, supportive, and nurturing learning environment and curriculum. Alongside academic success, we prioritize students' behaviour and aim for high achievement in an environment based on rewards rather than sanctions. Working closely with our dedicated teaching staff and caring pastoral team, you will support our students through their secondary school journey, embodying our vision and values and demonstrating exceptional professional behaviours.

Our academy caters to pupils aged 11-16. We are easily accessible from all areas of the North West, with Swinton train station less than a 5-minute walk. We have a dedicated team of staff who build positive relationships and foster a caring culture with our students.

* Democracy: We contribute ideas to make the academy successful.
* Solidarity: We believe in achieving more together than alone.
