Job overview
To build a fair education for all, we need to unlock the potential in all children – not just some. Together, we’re making it happen. Every day, our work takes us closer to a better future. But we need to do more. It’s a big challenge – and we need your help to take it on.
As the School to School Network Connector, you will be in charge of actively supporting the existing Heads Networks to grow and the setting up new Heads Networks. You will be working with colleagues internally to ensure that we are spreading expertise between the schools we work with and that every Senior Leader on each of our School Leadership Programmes is building up a powerful, lasting network of their own.
- Do you have significant experience working with Headteachers and understand the challenges they face?
- Do you have an understanding of the current ‘network landscape’ of schools? i.e. where are schools currently well connected and where they tend to be more isolated and how schools currently use networks to spread knowledge and expertise to improve outcomes for pupils?
- Do you have experience of successfully connecting Headteachers and school leaders to one another for mutual support and supporting them to build self-sustaining networks?
- Can you build strong relationships with senior stakeholders with confidence and know-how to facilitate group environments where vulnerability can be exposed, and trust built quickly?
Yes to the above? Then we want to hear from you. You might be our next School to School Network Connector.
Please note, first round interviews will be held on Friday, 18th October and second round interviews will be held on Wednesday, 30th October.

About TeachFirst
Teach First is an independent educational charity, Reg. No. 1098294, established in 2002 to directly address the problem of educational disadvantage. Now in its eighth year, Teach First has already changed the lives of thousands of young people. Working with a range of partner organisations Teach First harnesses the energy, enthusiasm and drive of exceptional graduates to provide leadership, motivation and, above all, inspirational teaching in challenging schools across England, through a two year Leadership Development Programme. The Programme combines working, qualifying and training as a teacher with leadership development training, coaching and mentoring, and a range of networking and internship opportunities. Beyond the two-year Programme, Teach First works to empower, equip and mobilise its ambassadors (alumni) with the skills, tools and networks they need to support the Teach First mission by driving forward sustainable change in education from both inside and outside the classroom.
Teach First is currently ranked 8th in the coveted league of Times Top 100 Graduate Employers – the highest ranked charity in Britain, and was the Charity Awards Education and Training Charity of the Year 2009. The organisation currently has 160 employees across the country with an annual operating budget of over £12 million. We rely on voluntary donations from companies and foundations and other sources to continue our work. We also receive support from the government and uniquely have been identified by all three political parties in their election manifestoes as an initiative they each wish to support and expand.
