Starting: January 2020
Are you an exceptional leader of mathematics? Do you want to change young people’s lives?
We are seeking a maths leader with a proven track record of achieving top outcomes, to take on a senior role and drive forward standards in our secondary schools. Our new regional maths leads will work directly with maths curriculum leaders in schools, and also our central education and curriculum team to have a transformational impact.
Inspiration Trust is at an exciting point in its development and this new role is a superb opportunity for someone to have a strong and lasting impact and also shape their role within the trust. Twice ranked the country’s top comprehensive secondary schools group, Inspiration Trust is swiftly becoming a key centre for maths curriculum and teaching. We have one of the country's first maths and science specialist sixth forms and the Norfolk and Suffolk Maths Hub (Angles), is based in our trust.
This senior role will combine teaching with leadership. The successful candidate will work on maths curriculum development and implementation and also support and develop maths leaders in schools. Our maths subject community already work in a close and collaborative way across the trust and we have an extensive maths CPD offer. This role offers the opportunity to play a leading role within that. There would also be the opportunity to be involved in our maths SCITT programme.
You will be an exceptional mathematician in your own right, with a proven track record leading a high performing team to effectively deliver key stage 4 curriculum. Experience of A level in addition would be desirable but not essential. The successful candidate will understand that high impact teaching comes from a structured and well sequenced curriculum and knowledge through teaching. The role will specifically cover leadership of key stage 4 curriculum, assessment and standards across a number of schools within Norfolk and Suffolk.
The Trust may offer support with relocation costs for candidates moving from outside the area.

Our principles
Principle one - routines and preparation for adulthood
We use routines to make school efficient and increase learning time. But, we ensure that over time this scaffolding is removed to prepare children for the independence of adulthood.
Principle two - social norms
We raise our children to be comfortable in the social norms of most workplaces. But, we think hard about where those norms may not feel inclusive; we want our children to feel welcome.
Principle three - powerful knowledge
We teach powerful knowledge so that children can understand, access and influence our society. But, we also teach critiques of this knowledge - to give our children an edge and show them that a canon is always up for debate.
Principle four - thinking
We guide learning carefully to ensure all children can access the curriculum and know it. But, we also challenge children to apply their thinking to complex problems to strengthen their intellectual resilience.
Principle five - teaching behaviour
We have rules and systems to ensure good behaviour so that all children can learn, disruption free. But, we realise that behaviour needs to be taught, and some children need more support to reach that standard than others.
