Job overview
Location: Northern England (primarily Greater Manchester and Yorkshire)
Central office staff work closely with schools, offering a wealth of expertise to underpin schools’ own knowledge. Our specialist departments, including HR, finance, technology, strategy and performance, estates, and marketing, work alongside dedicated school improvement teams. By joining us, you will provide ongoing support to schools, ultimately improving the outcomes of our pupils.
The role
As Science Subject Advisor to our growing portfolio of Secondary Academies in the North of England, you’ll embody our ethos of bringing out ’the best in everyone’. Leading science-specific improvement work, you’ll support departments to improve progress and attainment.
Working collaboratively with twelve schools (with more expansion likely) you’ll make a difference to thousands of students’ lives. Focusing on the quality of teaching and learning from KS3 up to KS5, you will be instrumental in developing our curriculum and assessment approach. You’ll also play a vital role in helping departments to build capacity, make sustainable improvements, and implement the new GCSE. Carefully diagnosing strengths and weaknesses, you’ll work closely with subject leaders and teachers to help them follow best practice and achieve their development goals.
To join us, you’ll need proven experience of teaching science, coaching teachers and shaping strategies for improving outcomes in schools at KS3, 4 and ideally 5. Your outstanding subject knowledge is matched by your passion and enthusiasm for communicating it to others. Committed to driving up standards of achievement, you’ll bring to the role an up-to-date knowledge of the science curriculum, twinned with exceptional relationship building and influencing skills.

Our teachers are passionate about their work. We know that teaching can be a tough profession, but with the right support and a commitment to seeing the best in each other, we work tirelessly to find creative ways to educate. By working as a team, we can achieve more together by sharing than any single teacher, department or school could alone.

As a group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed.

Additionally, you can access a range of flexible benefits that suit your lifestyle, from reduced childcare costs and gym memberships, to cycle to work and health programmes, hundreds of retail discounts, and many more.
Teaching is a challenging – yet fantastic – profession. It takes a dedicated practitioner with a solid team of support staff behind them to make a real difference to a child’s life.
That’s why we believe so passionately in the power of sharing. When everyone is working together towards the same goal, we enrich life for every member of staff. Our pupils can expect an outstanding education from a committed team of practitioners that share one core value – to see children and young people achieve their full potential.
