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.
