Are you ready to inspire and lead? At Co-op Swinton, we are seeking a dynamic Second in Department for Computer Science, Creative Media & Enterprise 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.

We are looking to appoint a Second in Department who shares our vision for an ambitious, supportive, and nurturing learning environment and curriculum.

Located within easy reach 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.
