Trust Director of Science

We invite applications for a Trust Director of Science to commence September 2023.

This is an exciting opening for an inspirational and driven science leader to join our supportive, successful and forward thinking Trust.

We welcome applicants from all faiths and none. The successful candidate will form part of our Trust’s School Improvement Team, responsible for ensuring that we deliver an excellent science offer across our five secondary schools.

We are looking for an outstanding science practitioner and leader, with a proven record of securing excellent outcomes in science.

The successful candidate will be based in one school but will be expected to travel across the Trust to support curriculum leadership.

This combination of strategy and practice makes this a particularly rewarding and diverse opportunity.

The Director of Science will have responsibility for leading teachers of science and support senior leaders in quality assuring the curriculum and enabling our children to fulfil their potential.
