Required for a September 2026 start
Golborne is a flourishing and heavily oversubscribed 11–16 secondary school, proud to provide an exceptional education for the children of Golborne and Lowton. We are one of a very small number of state, comprehensive secondary schools in the North West to be awarded an Ofsted judgement of Outstanding, and we are exceptionally proud of what this means for the pupils who attend our school and the staff who work here. As well as strong GCSE results, pupils at Golborne experience a broad and ambitious curriculum alongside a wide range of opportunities for personal development beyond the classroom.
Golborne continues to build on its success as a beacon of excellence at the heart of the community, underpinned by a relentless focus on high standards and inclusive practice. We believe that all staff – teaching and support – are our greatest asset, and we invest in them by placing wellbeing and professional development at the centre of all that we do. Our support staff play a vital role in enabling our pupils to thrive, and are an integral part of our school community. We operate a flexible working policy where appropriate and have a wellbeing offer that recognises and values staff contribution.
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, suitably experienced and qualified person to join our team. The role primarily involves contributing to a wide range of teaching and learning activities and to assist and support the work of qualified teachers. You will be expected to supervise classes and support the learning of pupils as they complete work set for them.
The successful candidate will have a good standard of education, including English and Maths (GCSE grade C), good communication skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Experience of working with 11-16 year olds in a classroom environment would be advantageous as would a flexible and positive approach.
