VACANCY
TEACHER OF MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Qualified Teacher Pay Range
(Required from September 2024)
An opportunity has arisen within our successful and highly skilled team for a teacher of MFL to join our school. This post would suit a candidate with either French or Spanish as their main language. At Turton our children are fiercely loyal, and so we are looking for someone who is just as committed to them.
Teachers are our most valued resource; thus, professional development is at the heart of our practice. We run our innovative and highly effective ‘Triad’ programme – a collaborative programme that supports everyone’s development, no matter what their level of experience. This is within a school culture that values all staff, promotes well-being and prioritises a manageable workload. Applications from colleagues seeking either full time or part time hours are equally welcome.
Teaching is an ever-changing job, but the things we can guarantee are:
· Location: Bromley Cross (rural suburbs of Bolton)
· Train station 2 minutes from school
· Salary: Main scale & UPS
· A unique ECF programme that runs for 4 years (not just 2)
· Every ECT has a dedicated coach and subject guide
· Opportunities for career development
· Bespoke CPD opportunities
· Contract: permanent
· Flexible working considered
· A warm, caring, dedicated set of colleagues, who are very keen to learn from you
