Full Time, Permanent

Based at Broadlands Academy, Keynsham for four days per week and at another South West secondary school for one day per week

January 2025 start

Join us on a journey of transformation.
We are looking to employ a Regional Maths Director for the south west region. Within this post, you will be based out of Broadlands Academy four days per week and the fifth day you will be based out of one of our other secondary schools in the south west (which include New Forest Academy, Ryde Academy and Winton Community Academy). This is an ideal post for a strong mathematician with high ambitions; we warmly welcome applications from current heads of department or seconds in charge who are looking to become an integral and valued member of our school and trust team. Within this role, you will be working closely with four secondary schools to accelerate improvement and raise standards across Maths.

The context:
You will spend the majority of your time within Broadlands Academy in Keynsham. This is a small secondary school (452 students) that is embarking on a period of lasting transformation. Within a smaller school, your presence and skills have a huge impact upon your colleagues and students. You will be moving into a position where your voice truly matters and your opinions hold weight. In addition, you will be able to enjoy strong relationships with students and colleagues alike. At Broadlands, you will plan, deliver and teach high quality lessons, deliver intervention programmes and challenge and support subject teams to achieve stretching targets for outcomes.

The challenge:
We are currently below national average within our south west secondaries for Maths attainment and we need to actively drive up this number. We have many outstanding practitioners across our schools but we also have key areas which need extra nurture and attention. This is an opportunity for you to directly influence our students' experience of Maths and ensure that we are obtaining the best possible outcomes for every one of them. Not only will you be working to significantly improve outcomes at Broadlands but you will also lead at an executive level to enhance the work of other schools departments. You will have the drive and determination to successfully collaborate in creating a culture of high expectations that raise standards.

The road ahead and the reward:
This is a challenge ripe for someone who is eager to demonstrate their ability to get stuck in and influence change at all levels and across multiple sites. This is an incredible opportunity to work within a progressive, growing trust network, alongside talented National Subject Leaders, the Regional Director for Secondary for the south west, Principals and head of department. This will be a richly rewarding, career-defining choice for the successful candidate.

Early applications are strongly recommended as we are reviewing and interviewing as suitable candidates apply.

Closing date: 22 November 2024

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive an overwhelming response. All candidates are advised to refer to the job description and person specification before making an application.

Lift Schools are committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils, and we expect all our people and volunteers to share this commitment. We adopt a fair and consistent recruitment process which is inline with Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance. This includes online checks for shortlisted candidates. All offers of employment are subject to an Enhanced DBS check, references, and where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check.
