Required for September 2021
The Role
Due to increasing student numbers, we are currently seeking to appoint an exceptional person to join our expanding Humanities team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an NQT looking to begin their teaching career or an experienced teacher looking for their next role where we offer the opportunity to work as part of a supportive and dedicated department.
The Department
Our Humanities department currently consists of 5 excellent practitioners. We will provide a comprehensive support and mentoring programme for the successful candidate to ensure you excel at your role and are supported in becoming an outstanding teacher.
We deliver an aspirational geography curriculum which aims to broaden students understanding of the natural world around them and how humans interact with it. We want our students to have a strong and balanced understanding of current affairs and global issues and so are constantly developing our curriculum to reflect this. Geography is a very popular subject with increasing option numbers year on year, the position is therefore ideal for someone who is enthusiastic and able to inspire a love of geography.
The School
Manchester Health Academy opened in September 2009 and is sponsored by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. In September 2010 the Academy moved into a £20 million state-of-the-art building and to accommodate a growing student population we have recently completed a further £10 million expansion project.
Our vision is to combine education and health in transforming the futures of our young people.
We are on the journey to becoming the provider of choice in a secondary setting and the hub of our local community: we will achieve this ambition. Does this excite you? Do you want to be part of something outstanding?

We are looking for a highly original and innovative individual, able to make an exceptional contribution to a strong team.
