Golborne is a flourishing 11-16 secondary school that is proud to provide an exceptional education for the children of Golborne and Lowton. We are one of a very small number of comprehensive secondary schools in the North West to be awarded an Ofsted judgement of Outstanding (January 2023), 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 excellent GCSE results, that are well above the national average, pupils at Golborne receive a well-rounded curriculum and a wide range of opportunities for personal development beyond the classroom. We provide exceptional pastoral care for our pupils and a package of CPD for teaching and support staff that delivers opportunities for career development at all levels.

Under the leadership of a new headteacher since January 2024, Golborne is excited to continue our journey to delivering a world-class education for our students and to become a beacon of excellence at the heart of the community. We are the lead school for Generate Teaching Hub and work together with our partners to deliver school to school support, exceptional CPD and early career framework structures.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, suitably experienced and qualified person to join our intervention team. This role involves working specifically with pupils who receive additional funding, to ensure they achieve the same outcomes as their peers, both academically and through access to a range of wider opportunities and personal development. We are in a position to appoint to this role as soon as possible, but the starting date will be negotiable for the right candidate.

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. A genuine commitment to equality of opportunity for every child is essential, and experience of working with primary or secondary pupils in a classroom environment would be advantageous. Intervention Managers work with small groups and individual pupils to remove barriers to them thriving in school. The nature of this intervention can be tailored to the strengths and experience of the applicant and may include supporting pupils with literacy, numeracy, organisation and resilience. Please read the job description and person specification for full details before applying.

Golborne High School is committed to the wellbeing of its staff and students. Applicants who are interested in part-time or flexible working arrangements should outline this in their application with a view to discussing their preferences or requirements with the Headteacher or governors if they are shortlisted to interview.
