Teacher of Maths - Lead Practitioner

Required from Easter 2021

This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic, highly motivated and experienced classroom practitioner to join our dynamic and successful team. 

Our ethos of ‘Ensuring Excellence’ is at the forefront of everything that we do. The successful candidate will be a knowledgeable and dedicated teacher who will support our subject leaders/Directors of Learning in raising standards of teaching and learning across the science department and other learning areas across the schools. 

The overarching purpose of the Lead Practitioners is to raise standards and develop teaching and learning, ensuring that the aims of the Community Academies Trust are effectively translated into high quality classroom practice both within the subject and in general. The Lead Practitioners are a team of driven and ambitious teachers who work collaboratively to drive up standards and develop themselves professionally through the extensive CPD opportunities afforded to them. 

The successful candidate must have:

• The ability to teach Maths up to KS4,
• The capacity to work collaboratively as part of a developing team,
• A passion for their subject that drives them to help pupils achieve their very best.

We will offer you:

• An extensive CPD programme to nurture and develop your talents at all levels,
• A professional, hard-working and supportive team that works together to create a welcoming, vibrant learning culture inclusive to all,
• Access to a network of successful schools to share best practice and develop career prospects at the highest level.

Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks and a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the standards which flows from Community Academies Trust vision and values. Due to the current COVID 19 outbreak we are adding supplementary measures to our safeguarding protocols. As such, a third reference is required, and all references will be taken up prior to interview.

The role is covered by part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 and therefore the ability to speak fluent spoken English is an essential requirement for this role.
