This is a fantastic time to join us as we enter a period of substantial growth and expansion. The NCETM, working alongside, and leading, England’s Maths Hubs, aims to ensure that all teachers of mathematics, in all school and college phases, have access to high quality professional development opportunities so that pupils and students have the best chance of acquiring a deep and lasting understanding of maths.

As a Regional Lead, you will be responsible for ensuring that Maths Hubs effectively design, deliver and evaluate plans that address the programme’s strategic priorities and will support Maths Hubs in their quest to develop and extend their leadership and management capacity, so they can effectively reach into areas of greatest need. 

The successful candidate will work across the North of England including the North East, Cumbria and North Yorkshire and frequent travel around the region will be required.  

The person
