The wonderfully diverse population of learners, the emphasis on professional learning for staff and the friendly atmosphere make Ladybridge an interesting and enjoyable place to work.   

All teaching staff at Ladybridge have a generous allocation of non-contact time: typically 20%, which is double the legal minimum requirement.  This ensures that our staff have the time to carry out their role to the highest possible standard, whilst having a genuine work-life balance. 

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Lead Practitioner for Mathematics, to join an already strong team.  Successful candidates will have a desire to both learn and to lead.   

The successful candidates will be expected to:

* lead and manage people effectively and help them to feel enthused about teaching Mathematics; 

* be organised and able to make things happen; 

* lead training to further improve teaching and learning; 

* lead by example as both a teacher and leader. 

We are also seeking to appoint, on a permanent basis, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Assistant Learning Director in Mathematics, required from 1st September 2020.  The details of this position can also be found via the link in this advertisement.  We intend to interview for both positions on the same day.
