Job overview
Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust (FMAT) is looking for a Trust English & Literacy Lead who shares our mission of enriching lives and transforming futures for all our students.
This is a particularly exciting time to join our Trust, and this post represents an increase in FMAT’s School Improvement Team. This challenging and rewarding role requires an individual who is inspirational, passionate and highly effective. The role will include the development, monitoring and review of provision and standards within the teaching of English/literacy across the Trust.

You will work closely with the Director of Education, other members of the School Improvement Team and academy leaders and teachers to positively impact the lives of the students we serve. You will have the opportunity to work with a range of other innovative practitioners and contribute to further collaboration and networking within and beyond the Trust.
As part of FMAT, you can help us inspire and enable young people to build successful lives and benefit from outstanding learning. CPD opportunities for those wanting to move into senior leadership and/or more senior Trust roles in the future will be offered, alongside a range of high quality training and leadership opportunities, including a current partnership with Ambition School Leadership, enhancing learning and teaching.
FMAT is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will therefore be required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) as well as providing evidence of qualifications.

We expect every child to challenge themselves, fostering our students' aspirations, supporting them to overcome obstacles to pursue their goals and achieve their ambitious aims in life.
