About this role
At Haywood Academy, we work hard to create environments that are welcoming, caring, calm, safe and
purposeful.
Do you believe that every young person deserves the chance to dream big?
Do you help them believe in themselves, even when the world doesn’t?
Do you teach in a way that helps them not just achieve grades, but purpose, pride and belonging?
Then welcome to Haywood: a special place where we Dream, Believe, Achieve.
About the role:
We’re looking for a passionate, resilient and values-driven classroom teacher to join our team. This isn’t a role for
the faint-hearted: but it is a role for the big-hearted. You’ll be part of a community where your presence will matter
more than you may ever fully realise.
Because here at Haywood, our students need you. Many face barriers that go beyond the classroom. What they
don’t need is pity: they need people who see their potential, believe in them fiercely, and won’t give up. They
deserve teachers who understand that success isn’t only about results, but about building confidence, belonging,
and the belief that their future can be different.
If you're passionate about building a better future for the young people of Stoke-on-Trent: this is the place for you.
What you’ll de doing:
• Inspiring, supporting and challenging young people in your subject area
• Building trusting relationships that form the foundation of learning
• Creating a classroom that feels safe, respectful and full of opportunity
• Celebrating every win: from lightbulb moments to simply showing up on a tough day
• Living our values of Dream, Believe, Achieve in every lesson, every interaction, every day
• Working with a leadership team that backs you, develops you, and believes in you
• Playing a key part in a community that acts like a family
United by our values, we place children and young people at the heart of all we do.
The kind of person we are looking for:
• A qualified teacher who brings skill and soul to the job
• Someone who
