Teacher of MFL

Overview

Bring your love of languages to life! At Co-op Academy Manchester, we’re looking for an innovative Modern Foreign Languages Teacher to engage students and foster a lifelong love of languages. As a Teacher of MFL, you will help to implement and deliver an exciting, knowledge-rich curriculum that is thoughtfully sequenced and informed by expert subject knowledge and the latest educational research.

We are looking for someone to join the MFL team who shares our passion for the subject and commitment to supporting every child to achieve great outcomes and a lifelong love of languages. At the top of your game, you’ll have great behaviours, strong organisational skills, the ability to collaborate effectively, and be able to work constructively as part of a team.

How and why you do things matters greatly to us, as does your ability to use your initiative, work independently and be resilient.

The academy, based in Higher Blackley in North Manchester, has over 1,600 students on roll and is part of Co-op Academies Trust.

Co-op Academy Manchester was recently judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in March 2023. Ofsted said that:

“Leaders, trustees and governors strive for all pupils at Co-op Academy Manchester to be successful. Pupils are encouraged to demonstrate the ‘ways of being Co-op’ in all that they do.”

“Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They use their expertise to help pupils to learn well in lessons. Teachers who are not specialists in a subject receive appropriate and effective subject-specific training. This enables these teachers to deliver the curriculum equally well.”

“Leaders have thought carefully about the curriculum that they want all pupils to learn, including those with SEND. The curriculum is well organised. Subject leaders have thought deeply about the key knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which this content should be taught.”

All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.

Being part of the Co-operative Group, we are guided and driven by the Co-op values which are embedded in everything that we do within our Academy - we strive to demonstrate the following ethical values in everything we do - they are our ‘Ways of Being’:

Succeed together

Do what matters most

Be yourself, always

Show you care

So, if you believe in our values, we would love to hear from you!
