‘Think Differently’ to inspire young people to overcome all barriers and achieve their dreams.

This is the Vision Statement of James Brindley Academy.

• Do you want to have a positive impact on some of the most vulnerable children’s lives in Birmingham?
• Do you want to work in an organisation that recognises the benefits of a good work/life balance for their workforce?
• Do you want to work in an organisation that invests heavily in CPD and allocates additional training days to develop their staff?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to all these questions, join our team! 

This is a particularly exciting moment to join James Brindley, the founding school of the newly established Think Differently Education Trust. This marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for our community, opening up fresh opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and professional growth across Birmingham. By joining us now, you’ll be part of shaping a progressive trust from the ground up — helping to drive meaningful change for our young people while developing your own career in a supportive and ambitious environment.

We are looking for a Computing Teacher; the role involves teaching pupils with medical needs who are unable to access mainstream education. Many of our Young People have gaps in their education and we strive to implement creative teaching strategies to reduce the impact of educational disadvantage, enabling all our Young People to access learning and make expected progress. You should be passionate about developing and supporting the needs of the whole child and committed to enabling all pupils to thrive. We are looking for a qualified teacher with tenacity, positivity and experience of teaching the subject at KS3, KS4 and KS5. You should have QTS and a track record as a consistently good practitioner.
