Are you passionate about raising standards in your subject area?

Want early promotion to leadership but don’t want to leave your subject area behind?

Do you want to support your colleagues in providing an outstanding education for our students?

Keen to work with a leading high-performing, and professional Academy Trust?

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational Lead Teacher, to work within the Education Improvement Team, deployed directly into academies, taking responsibility for the quality of individual subject provision and delivery, curriculum teaching and assessment. You will be a proven outstanding teacher who is passionate about their subject – experience as a Head of Faculty or Subject is not essential.  

Working alongside our team of experienced Trust Subject Directors, you will be deployed in 2/3 Academies either in Derby/Derbyshire, Leicestershire or Nottingham City/Shire during the academic year, playing a crucial part in raising standards and outcomes through the delivery of your excellent practice. In addition, you will support your colleagues through leading by example, coaching and CPD.  Our Teaching School Hub, Research School, SCITT and Maths Hub will be there every step of the way to provide professional learning and support your career development. There may also eventually be an opportunity to progress to become a Trust Subject Director.

Application closing date: Friday 6 February - 2.00pm 

Interviews will be held by or before: Week beginning, Monday 9 February

Early applications are encouraged as we reserve the right to interview and appoint before the closing date.
