Assistant Director of Learning and Standards - Geography

Are you an ambitious teacher in your 2nd /3rd year of teaching and looking for your 1st step into leadership?

You will be joining a strong leadership team in Humanities, supported by a DLS (Head of Department) and a Vice Principal. You will have led a strand of Geography development in your current role and will be able to demonstrate the impact that this has had.  This position will give you the opportunity to expand your experience whilst playing to your strengths and passion for the subject. The TLR will reflect your experience and ability to effectively contribute to the leadership team in Humanities.

We will work with you to devise an individual professional development plan with specific CPD which could include visits to high performing schools, working alongside other leaders, involvement in our co-design team, one to one coaching and attendance at leadership conference. All of this with the ultimate aim of providing the best education for our students, placing strong emphasis on good behaviour so that no student is left behind.

You will be joining a group of successful schools all judged to be good or outstanding, serving approximately 3000 children from nursery through to 19 years of age. The Central RSA Multi Academy Trust sits within an umbrella trust of schools known as RSAA. The RSA Academy in Tipton (West Midlands) is an oversubscribed and expanding 11-19 school with 1100 students (including Sixth Form). This will rise to 1200 plus sixth form over the next two years. The school is highly aspirational, boasting fantastic facilities for both students and staff, including a £5 million new build block, to enable expansion. Significant changes have been made in the last year to remove barriers to improvement, and the successful candidate will be joining the school at a critical and exciting time to drive things forward.

Informal visits to the Academy are encouraged and welcomed, please contact the HR department on either AAHR@rsaacademy.org or 0121 5561351 to arrange a suitable time.
