Transforming Lives Through Education in East Manchester

Join a school that’s on the rise—where ambition meets opportunity.

This is a genuinely exciting time to join The East Manchester Academy. Our recent Ofsted inspection (March 2025) recognised the significant strides we have made, with the school now rated ‘Good’ overall, and achieving ‘Outstanding’ in both Personal Development and Leadership and Management. This outcome reflects the hard work, dedication and shared belief in the potential of every student.

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.

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.
