To start September 2026  
 

As an established, and successful teacher with a high level of subject expertise, we understand you want to help every student, irrespective of their background or abilities, to succeed. You want to make a positive difference to your students’ lives. At Connect Multi-Academy Trust, we also want you to extend this ambition to support other members of our team to achieve this. So, if you are driven by sharing your skills and enthusiasm with the team to deliver the best for our students, this is the role for you. 

We are particularly keen to develop creative approaches to teaching and learning and to extend the variety of activities and tasks our students experience to further enhance their love of learning. You will work alongside our Maths leaders across the Trust to develop our curriculum and you will support your Head of Department and other colleagues at North Durham Academy to operationalise it in the academy. 

We also understand that to achieve your aims, you need outstanding support and development that’s shaped to meet your needs and aspirations so you can, in turn, do the same for others.  

At Connect we value work-life balance and are open to discussing flexible working arrangements to support the needs of our employees. Please feel free to indicate your preferences during the application process.
