Lead Practitioner

Lead Practitioner - Science

Salary scale: Lead Practitioner Range  - point 6-10

Start date  - 1st January 2022 onwards.

The Midland Academies Trust are looking for a Lead Practitioner in Science to lead the further development of the curriculum, pedagogy and practice in English, Maths and Science across our Trust. 

Our four academies work together as a single shared subject community with a common curriculum written and resourced by our staff. As Lead Practitioner, you will play a leading role in the work of this community with a focus on driving forward subject pedagogy, curriculum development and delivery across our Trust.

 

This is a new role for our Trust and reflects our commitment to an ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum and the value we place on continually developing the subject expertise of our staff. We are looking for someone who wishes to influence, shape and direct the work of our subject community whilst also retaining a strong foundation in the classroom. 

 

This is a practical, hands on role and it is vital that our Lead Practitioners are serving teachers who retain a reduced teaching commitment and can share examples, trial approaches and lead from their own practice. 

 

If you are an experienced teacher with a passion for your subject, a commitment to delivering high quality teaching and the experience, vision and skills to support others in delivering exemplary curriculum provision across our academies, we would encourage you to  apply. 

 

This is an important role for us, and we welcome phone calls or visits to our academies prior to application. To arrange a visit, please email matrecruitment@midlandat.co.uk
