Our curriculum is employer led and The GM is supported by a range of employer partners including the Equity Solutions Group, the University of Bolton, and EDT. Our education partners are the University of Bolton, Oldham College and City & Guilds. We will specialise in sustainable engineering and construction, responding to the challenges faced by employers in recruiting well qualified young people in the North East Greater Manchester area.

• An enthusiastic and committed teacher and leader
• Creative and dynamic practitioner

We can offer you:

• The opportunity to work with national and international educational and business experts
