School Based Associates and Consultants

B11 has been operating for nearly 10 years and has a proven track record of supporting school improvement across England. As part of our growth plans for the next four years, we are expanding our range of services to meet the changing needs of education establishments across the country. We require school-based practitioners to undertake assignments with / on behalf of us, to work collaboratively with our customers and support school improvement.

Why lend us your staff?

We will provide generous financial compensation to schools lending their staff for these part-time assignments. We will also cover any additional travel/subsistence costs for your staff member while they work with us. The professional development experience they gain from working in other schools, developing the skills of other people and seeing what works elsewhere, can all be brought back to support their work in your school too. In addition, for every three days of time that you release your staff, we will provide a consultant to support your school for one day, if required.  

Roles available:

Heads of Department and Specialist Leaders of Education 

Are you an SLE or Head of Department looking to share your expertise with others? Then we want to hear from you.

· Visit schools across England

· Support other specialists and share good practice

· Receive training and mentoring in providing school improvement support to others

We need specialists in a range of subjects and aspects of leadership to support other schools. We have regular requests for English, maths and science specialists and a range of other subjects; we can also place specialists in teaching and learning, curriculum development, pupil progress, safeguarding, closing the gap and more. 

National Leaders of Education / Governance 

Could you support school leaders to develop their skills and capacity to lead and manage their own establishment?

· Support / mentor new and less experienced leaders to develop their skills

· Work alongside other colleagues to build capacity or work on specific projects within their school

· Work alongside governing bodies to build their skills to support and challenge their own school

We provide support to schools by deploying individuals with excellent leadership skills to assist schools. 

Experienced School Inspectors 

Would you like to provide independent, external validation and developmental support to leaders at all levels? We need these skills for deployment across England.

· Use your inspection experience to build the capacity of school leaders by working collaboratively and in a developmental manner

· Develop leadership capacity by leading peer reviews of schools / academies and recommending actions that respond to the strengths and areas for improvement identified

· Conduct pupil premium or safeguarding reviews, support governors with Head Teacher Performance Management or provide external reviews of governance. 

Our focus is to provide independent, external validation of quality assurance documentation such as their SEF / SDP and developmental support to leaders at all levels. Much of our work involves conducting whole-school and subject/aspect heath checks to support school improvement. If you have school inspection experience and would like to use this to support more schools, join our database ready for deployment in education establishments across the country.
