What our staff say

“I have never worked in a school where I have been so looked after, moving to Manchester Health Academy was the best thing I ever did – the staff here are brilliant and I am very lucky to work in such a great academy.”

Claire Livingstone, Subject Leader of Geography

“Manchester Health Academy is a fantastic place to work, having just qualified as a teacher, starting work somewhere new can often feel daunting. But I was made to feel welcome right away, and every member of staff is always happy to help! The fantastic opportunities and facilities here at MHA, make this school a great place to be, for both Staff and Students.”

Laura Riches, Teacher of PE

“Manchester Health Academy is a great place to work because I know I make a real difference to students lives.”

Sonja Evason, Head of Pastoral Team

“Manchester Health Academy is fantastic! I started as an apprentice and now I am a full time Learning Support Assistant with a Level 3 qualification in Learning Support and Employees Rights and Responsibilities. I work as part of a great team and have been given the opportunity to set up and run handwriting sessions which is having a really positive impact.”

Jade Goulden, Learning Support Assistant

“All the staff at Manchester Health Academy regardless of their position work together as a team with the common goal to improve the life choices and outcomes of the young people at the Academy. I relocated to Manchester with my young family in 2015 having taught in London for 10 years and all the staff were all fantastic and supportive when settling here. The new world class facilities will make the Academy outstanding and I believe it will continue to be an amazing place to work.”

Stewart Brown, Head of PE

“I’ve worked at Manchester Health Academy for almost six years now and I absolutely love it! Everyone is really helpful, supportive and friendly. Location wise it’s great because we are only two minutes from the motorway and fifteen minutes from the Trafford Centre, so it is perfect for that end of the week shopping trip or meal as a treat on a Friday!”

Lisa Wood, Assistant SEND Leader

“Including the time I worked at the predecessor school, I’ve been at Manchester Health Academy for 20 years now. I think it’s an amazing, caring  place to work because of how supportive staff are to each other and because we all have brilliant relationships with the students.”

Lynne Hartley, Higher Level Teaching Assistant
