Trust Lead Practitioner

We currently have 5 vacancies open for Lead Practitioner in Maths, History, Geography, Science and Computing.

The Midland Academies Trust are establishing a new team of Trust Lead Practitioners to lead the further development of curriculum, pedagogy and practice across our Trust. If you are a highly skilled teacher and subject leader seeking promotion to a senior position where you can continue to use your subject knowledge and passion to make a difference to a group of schools, then we are looking for you.  

This is an exciting new development for our Trust and reflects our commitment to an ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum and the value we place on continually developing the subject expertise of our staff. We are looking for someone who wishes to influence, shape and direct the work of our subject community whilst also retaining a strong foundation in the classroom.  

This is a practical, hands-on role. Our Trust Lead Practitioners will retain a reduced teaching commitment (currently around 13 lessons per week) and will be expected to share examples, trial approaches and showcase excellent teaching practice. The remainder of the time will be spent visiting and working with subject colleagues and leaders across our Trust academies. 

Our academies work together as a single shared subject community with a common curriculum written and resourced by our staff. As Trust Lead Practitioner, you will play a leading role in the work of this community with a focus on driving forward subject pedagogy, curriculum development and delivery across our Trust. 

If you are an experienced teacher with a passion for your subject, a commitment to delivering high quality teaching and the experience, vision and skills to support others in delivering exemplary curriculum provision across our academies, we would encourage you to apply.  

This is an important role for us, and we welcome phone calls or visits to our academies prior to application. To arrange a visit, please email matrecruitment@midlandat.co.uk
