Those who come to teach and work at Balshaw’s will have fantastic opportunities to progress their careers and gain a wealth of experience. That said, Balshaw’s also enjoys an incredibly stable workforce and when you hear the phrase ‘Once a Balshavian, always a Balshavian’ you will realise it to be a truth.

Further details about the role

• All teachers at Balshaw’s have additional planning time above the 10% PPA that is part of the STPCD.
• You would be working in a department that is staffed entirely by Maths specialists.
• If you are an ECT, in addition to our ECT coordinator, our ECT mentor is a member of the Maths department so you would receive our ECT support programme from a subject specialist.
• Although this position is required from September, we would consider an application from a colleague in post who would only be able to start in January.
• We are fortunate to have the staffing flexibility to be able to consider applicants who are looking for part time work up to 0.4FTE.
