Job overview

Our vision is for all young people to have access to the highest academic, social and practical skills required to achieve their full potential, whether going on to study at a leading university or entering the world of work. We are determined to become the Trust that makes the biggest difference, both inside and outside the classroom.
Our successful family of schools educates over 29,000 students across many areas of the country. We are continuing to improve outcomes for our students despite being largely in areas of historic academic underachievement.
We are looking to recruit an outstanding teacher to work as a Regional Lead Practitioner for mathematics in some of our highest priority schools across the east region.
The support you offer our leaders and teachers will be vital in ensuring that all of our schools achieve the same successes. Joining a regional school improvement team led by a Regional Director, you will use your passion, subject knowledge and expertise in mathematics to drive forward the quality of teaching and learning. Based across several schools, you will model great practice through a partial teaching timetable, but you will also travel around the region to coach and lead others. This in an exciting role that requires flexibility, a team spirit, and a willingness to learn and it will suit individuals who want to take a step-up and work at a more strategic level in mathematics, across a range of schools.
Our expectations are high. We are aiming to ensure that all our schools show strong progress in mathematics so that students can progress onto further study, university or employment of their choice.
The successful candidate will:
- be an outstanding teacher with a proven track record of securing sustained excellent outcomes
- have up-to-date knowledge of subject curricula and assessment requirements
- be proficient in teaching mathematics, preferably to A Level
- have proven experience of identifying and implementing effective strategies for improving attainment in mathematics in challenging schools at KS3 and KS4
- have a highly effective style that is both consultative and influential
- be able to demonstrate resilience, motivation and commitment to driving up standards of achievement
- be able to work across a group of schools and show significant impact in developing capacity and improving outcomes for young people
In return, we offer great career prospects in a supportive environment, commitment to your continued professional development, pension, health cash plan, EAP and other generous staff discounts.
To apply, please submit your completed application form and supporting statement by 12noon on Wednesday 4th December 2019 to recruitment@ormistonacademies.co.uk.

About Ormiston Academies Trust
With over 40 schools – currently 32 secondary schools, six primary schools, three alternative provision schools and one special school across five OAT regions, the trust is one of the largest and longest standing trusts in the school system and is guided by our founder, Peter Murray’s belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive.
We provide pupils with the best learning opportunities in every classroom, in every school, every day. We are also committed to the learning and development that takes place outside of the classroom, and the enriching role that schools and education play in children’s lives.
Our schools are located across a diverse range of communities, each with its own unique character, strengths and challenges. OAT believes in the power of collaboration and working as one team across our schools. This collective approach is underpinned by our core values, which sit at the heart of the work across the trust. It is only through a culture of cohesion and shared endeavour, that we will deliver more for children and families.
There is much to be proud of at OAT, but the trust is not complacent and is committed to improving everything it does. Everyone who works at OAT plays a key role in our journey to both develop and deliver our strategy over the next five years.
We look for people who share our belief in the power of education to change lives for young people, and who have the intellectual, interpersonal and operational capabilities required every day to improve education at scale in a national organisation.
