Trust Lead - Science

Interested in growing with us?

It’s a really exciting time to be considering working for Aldridge Education.  At the start of an exciting journey to excellence, this is the perfect time to make your mark with us!

Suitable for a successful Head of Department or Lead Practitioner who has shown themselves to be a strong classroom practitioner and a skilled leader, we’re looking for people who really understand how to support rapid improvement. You’ll have proven yourself in your work to date and be highly ambitious to progress further.  You may have experience as a senior leader but this is not essential.  Whatever stage your career is at, if you meet the criteria and have the passion for this work, we’re interested in talking to you.

Aldridge Education is looking to appoint an outstanding Science practitioner to work nationally with our nine schools in Darwen, Manchester, London and Brighton. We are one of the top Trusts in the country at KS5 and we wish to transport this success to rapidly improve standards at other key stages in our eight schools. 

Candidates will ideally have effective management experience and will be capable of working peripatetically, to raise standards across several Science departments. This is a marvellous opportunity for colleagues who wish to progress their careers, but stay within their chosen subject discipline. The successful candidate will contribute to our wider educational team and also focus on raising science standards in our primary school. 

Working directly to, and closely with, our new CEO, this is an exciting opportunity to be a key driver in MAT improvement and as a result, to grow your career with us.

This unique role will also interact with the rest of the education team to ensure that teaching methods are consistent across the Trust. It is expected that practitioners will have an exceptional knowledge of curriculum frameworks and provide support for departments who are developing their curriculum offer in light of the proposed Ofsted Framework. 

The Recruitment Pack will provide more details about Aldridge Education for interested candidates. The closing date for applications is FRIDAY 29th April 2019. All applications will be acknowledged on receipt. Shortlisting will be carried out shortly afterwards and candidates will be notified to confirm their attendance at the interview stage.  Interviews and associated assessment activities are likely to be conducted week beginning 6th May 2019 in London. Our successful candidate will join us in September 2019.
