What skills and experience we're looking for

This role is a fantastic opportunity for either experienced practitioners or Early Career Teachers (ECTs). At TEMA, your professional development will be prioritised, with a culture of support and challenge that helps you grow into the best teacher you can be. We are looking for someone who can motivate and inspire students, promote a love of the subject, and deliver high-quality learning experiences that challenge and support all learners.

You will be a passionate advocate for student achievement, with a relentless commitment to high standards, equity, and inclusive practice. You will work effectively with colleagues and external partners to share best practice and develop strong relationships that help every student realise their potential.

The successful candidate will join a school driven by purpose and pride. We are proud to serve a diverse and inclusive community and are seeking a practitioner who believes that education is a powerful force for social justice. If you are committed to making a lasting difference to the lives of young people—especially those facing the greatest challenges—we want to hear from you.

Come and be part of our ambitious journey. Help shape the future of East Manchester.

The East Manchester Academy is committed to safeguarding, child protection and promoting the well-being of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check prior to starting.

We are a growing academy at the heart of a vibrant community, and we are looking to expand our team as we move into the next phase of our development. Our mission is clear: to become an exceptional school where the children of East Manchester flourish—academically, socially, and personally.

We are a forward-thinking, happy school that values evidence-based practice and professional collaboration. Working both within our trust and beyond, we constantly strive to raise standards through innovation, reflection, and shared learning.
