Lead Teacher of Mathematics & Middle Leadership Coach

Trinity Academy is a vibrant community, with strong and fulfilling relationships between students and teachers. Combining a culture of care with deep passion for raising standards, we go the extra mile every day to transform outcomes for our 1,300 students, aged from 11 to 18. With a knowledge-rich curriculum and an evidence-based approach to teaching, we’re determined to release the full potential of everyone who studies or works here. Our achievements speak for themselves: whilst we serve an area of relatively high deprivation, former students have gone on to become world-class in their field. What’s more, our impressive facilities, extensive grounds and easy motorway links to Leeds, Sheffield and Hull make this the perfect place to build your future.

Having recently appointed a new Principal and a new Head of School, and in order to further accelerate outcomes and continue to grow our talented staff team, we are currently seeking to appoint an outstanding Lead Teacher of Mathematics and Leadership Coach to join our hardworking Mathematics department.

You will already be an outstanding teacher capable of delivering inspirational lessons and able to ensure that students within mathematics are appropriately challenged, supported and achieve their expected levels of progress or better. A visionary and experienced teacher, you will combine deep knowledge of your discipline with the ability to engage students from all backgrounds and create a lifelong love of learning.

Our Lead Teacher of Mathematics works closely with the Head of Mathematics and will be responsible for the progress and attainment of a key stage or year group in the academy. 

To be successful, you will be:

- an outstanding teacher of mathematics looking to develop your career in a teaching and learning role;

- a head of mathematics with a previous track record of successful outcomes who can support and develop our new subject leaders;

- able to encourage and enthuse students to achieve their full potential;

- inspirational to colleagues and students – sharing best practice.

This is an exciting opportunity for an individual to join an academy with a culture of professional learning and reflection and one which works effectively with its community to bring about sustainable improvements. We actively welcome applications from talented mathematics teachers currently with a leadership role looking to take on a whole school role and to further develop their career.

In return, we offer exceptional investment in your professional development, enabling you to gain the skills to accelerate your career. You will also enjoy outstanding pastoral support via our membership of Care First Lifestyle, as well as wide-ranging benefits including a daily meal allowance and access to our excellent gym facilities both before and after school.

Closing date: 9am on Monday 20 April 2020 

Interviews will be confirmed shortly after the closing date, whether in person or via video, depending on the pandemic measures in place at that time.
