About this Role

Are you an experienced teacher with a deep passion for your subject?

Do you want to develop your career Trust-wide?

Do you want to support other teachers to raise attainment in your specialism across our schools?

Do you belong in a Trust dedicated to giving children a life-changing education, especially those experiencing disadvantage?

If you answered yes to these questions, our new Trust Leader post could be for you.

Working across THPT Schools within your phase specialism, our Trust Leaders will develop our unique THPT curriculum approaches. You will support teaching colleagues within the Early Years to bring out their best in the classroom. Your deep and infectious passion for your phase will inspire others and ensure that THPT schools deliver the best possible education for our youngest children.

You will spend 3 days a week teaching at Kenyngton Manor Primary School and have the other 2 days dedicated to developing curriculum, improving others’ teaching, and strengthening delivery in the EYFS across our schools.

(Part time and flexible working requests are always considered)

An expert teacher, you may be a current school middle or senior leader or a passionate phase specialist with other leadership experience from within or beyond schools.

You may aspire to school senior leadership including Headship or be dedicated to continuing to develop your phase at the highest levels.

Working within a team of other specialist Trust Leaders with the drive to raise standards across our Trust, you will be expertly line managed and developed to deliver in your key role.
