Job description

VACANCY

TEACHER OF MATHEMATICS and TEACHER DEVELOPMENT with professional mentor role.
Qualified Teacher Pay Range TLR 2b
(Required from September 2025)

An exciting opportunity has arisen within our successful and highly skilled team for a teacher of maths to join both our Maths Department and our Initial Teacher Training team.

Teachers are our most valued resource; thus, professional development is at the heart of our practice. This particular role offers not only an opportunity to develop and coach staff during their training years (early years, primary, secondary) but also offers the post holder the prospect of continuing this into the early years of their careers. It is an exciting time to join our highly successful School Direct Team and offers the chance to influence the provision trainees and ECTs receive, as well as the possibility of further career advancement.
The post holder will be responsible for supporting the professional development of trainees and promoting engagement with both ITT and ECT programmes, ensuring their successful delivery. Applicants should have several years of teaching experience, with a track record of high-quality classroom practice.
At Turton our children are fiercely loyal, and we are looking for someone who is just as committed to them. This is an opening for someone to work with our collaborative, forward-thinking and reflective maths team. You would be joining a team of passionate, committed, hard-working and supportive teachers. We are looking for someone that is just as passionate; someone that understands the varying and complex needs of teaching years 7 – 11 and enjoys doing so. We are seeking a highly skilled practitioner, who flourishes by teaching the building blocks of maths and is able to ignite curiosity and wonder and who can help children retain their knowledge and have the confidence to build on it. There is also an opportunity to teach KS5 Maths.
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.
• Opportunities for career development.
• Bespoke CPD opportunities.
• Our innovative and highly effective ‘Triad’ programme – a collaborative programme that supports everyone’s development, no matter what their level of experience.
• Contract: permanent.
• Flexible working considered.
• A warm, caring, dedicated set of colleagues, who are very keen to learn from you.
• A school culture that values all staff, promotes well-being and prioritises a manageable workload.
