EAL Coordinator

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.
