About this Role

Do you see language as more than just words?
Are you the type of person who hears 10 different languages in a corridor and thinks, “Brilliant — let’s make this even better!”?

Then step right up… we might just have your perfect role.

The Role:
At UCS, our classrooms are buzzing with languages, cultures, and stories from around the globe. We’re proud of it—and we want you to lead it.

As our EAL Co‑ordinator, you’ll:

  • Champion our wonderfully diverse EAL community
  • Support students to thrive academically and feel at home in school
  • Guide staff with strategies to make learning accessible, inclusive, and effective
  • Turn language barriers into stepping stones for success
  • Celebrate multilingualism like the superpower it is

A Day in Your World Might Include:

  • Coaching colleagues on brilliant EAL teaching approaches
  • Working with students at different stages of English acquisition
  • Tracking progress and spotting those “YES, they’ve got it!” moments
  • Collaborating with families and communities from across the globe
  • Finding creative ways to make learning meaningful (and maybe picking up a few new phrases yourself!)

 We’re Looking For Someone Who:

  • Gets genuinely excited about languages, culture, and inclusion
  • Has experience supporting EAL learners (or a strong passion to lead in this area)
  • Can juggle strategy and hands-on support like a pro
  • Brings energy, empathy, and a sprinkle of creativity
  • Believes every student deserves to feel confident, understood, and successful

 Why You’ll Love It Here:

  • A vibrant, diverse school community where no two days are the same
  • The chance to shape EAL provision in a school where it truly matters
  • A supportive team who are up for new ideas (and the occasional biscuit break 🍪)
  • Real impact—helping students find their voice, in every sense

What You’ll Get:

  • A purpose-driven role where every day matters
  • CPD opportunities
  • A supportive, friendly school community
  • Opportunities for training, development, and personal growth
  • The chance to genuinely change lives (no exaggeration here)
  • Plenty of “you made a difference today” moments
  • A wellness day - an additional day of leave to support your wellbeing 
  • See our benefits brochure for further details.

 In a nutshell:

If you’re ready to lead, inspire, and celebrate the incredible diversity of our school and turn language learning into a whole-school success story — this is your moment.

 Join us at University Collegiate School, Bolton

Where languages are many… but opportunity is shared.

 Because every voice deserves to be heard—and you can help make that happen. 🌟
