Senior Trust Leader - Maths

We are looking for a dynamic individual to join our central services team. Reporting to the Director of School Improvement, you will work closely with myself and Principals in bringing to life our ambitious School Improvement Strategy.

This is a part time role (0.4) but there is the opportunity for a full time position for interested candidates. This would mean teaching/leading in a Haberdashers’ Secondary school on a part time basis (0.6).

Haberdashers’ Academies Trust South is a Multi-Academy Trust consisting of five primary schools and four secondary schools – all based in south east London. We have a strong moral purpose which binds us together and our Haberdashers’ Advantage makes us unique.

We are a Trust with great potential and this role will be an integral part of this success.  I am looking for people to join our organisation who can support our vision and ethos but who can challenge us in our thinking. I am personally committed to securing our reputation as a great employer. People are at the heart of what we do.

We want the best people to join our Haberdashers’ community and we are committed to a diverse and inclusive student and staff body. If you are passionate about making a difference and feel that you have the right experience and expertise, I encourage you to apply to join us on our journey. 

This post will require travel to each of our sites alongside opportunities to work from home.
