We are looking for an experienced school improvement professional with proven credibility, to work with the schools within The Mast Academy to bring about rapid improvements.
This post is suitable for experienced Headteachers, senior leaders and current school improvement professionals who have a track record of bringing about rapid improvement in schools. The successful candidates may be Ofsted inspectors although this is not essential.
We are looking for a talented school improvement expert who can offer knowledge and experience of how schools can improve at pace and who have the credibility to engage with stakeholders and partners across the school system.
This is a key role and you will be required to support and challenge leaders across the trust, ensuring they achieve the very best for all learners and focus on our mission of all the schools being good or better.
We are seeking to recruit a school improvement/education adviser to monitor, challenge, support and empower school leaders to deliver high quality provision for all pupils within schools, as well as deepen accountable partnerships, drawing on their collective expertise and combined resources to enable all pupils to achieve their potential and ambitions.
You will need to be able to demonstrate you can forge effective professional relationships at all levels - with all the schools within the multi academy trust; with governors, Headteachers, teachers and other agencies.
It is important that you share our wider vision for the trust to deliver high quality services that schools value and trust. To be successful, it is likely you will have led school improvement in a relevant context - either as a school leader or perhaps in an advisory role with a local authority, academy trust or other school-led system.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a committed team who are committed to delivering improving results. You will find talented colleagues ready to support you every step of the way.

Scissett Middle School is a 10 – 13 large middle school of 564 pupils. We are situated in the semi-rural Dearne Valley and have a wide catchment area that includes the villages of Scissett, Denby Dale, Skelmanthorpe, Flockton and Cumberworth.
Happiness, friendship, care, kindness and success, blend together effortlessly, creating the unique ethos and family atmosphere of our school. As a middle school, we are able to nurture and develop all our pupils in a safe, yet stimulating environment; the close care and support for each individual pupil is genuinely personalised. Outstanding pastoral care and an exciting and challenging curriculum, combine smoothly and effectively with a wide-ranging and inclusive programme of cross-curricular activities, to enable pupils to reach high academic standards.
Children at Scissett Middle School enjoy a wide range of activities that extend their experience in many parts of the curriculum. Health and Safety is emphasised in all school activities, and always plays a key role in the organisation of field trips and visits.
In our recent inspection (October 2019), Ofsted judges us to be a ‘good school’. The following quotes are just some of the inspectors' judgements of different aspects of our work in school. They give us great encouragement and act as a spur as we aim for further improvement.
“ This is a happy and caring school and staff have high expectations for all pupils. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They attend well. Pupils show respectful and tolerant attitudes towards each other and staff. They are proud of their school."
"Leaders expect pupils to work hard and behave well. Pupils show positive attitudes towards their learning."
"Pupils understand how to be responsible and active citizens. There is a range of opportunities for pupils to contribute to their school and the wider community."
