The Trust is seeking to appoint a self-motivated and passionate candidate who can fulfil the role of Head of Maths at Bluecoat Trent Academy.

The staff team will be small initially, therefore the successful applicant will be expected to be fully committed to developing the leadership within Maths and also have a strong desire to be part of the founding cohort of staff. We are looking for leaders who have the ambition to shape the school into an outstanding provider.

Collaboration and CPL are of high importance within the Trust therefore a robust programme of training will be provided, particularly for areas where candidates have less experience. We would also be keen to hear from inspirational leaders who, as yet, have less leadership experience but feel that they can identify with the plans for and purpose of the school. This is an excellent platform for applicants with aspirations for Senior Leadership.

The post holder will work alongside the Principal in achieving the five-year strategic vision of the school. This will include designing the Maths curriculum and implementing the Academy’s Teaching and Learning Framework within the Maths team. There will also be the opportunity for the right candidate to take on an aspect of whole school strategy. They will work hard to ensure that all children in the school excel from whatever their starting point, and will be fully committed to going above and beyond to ensure our students receive the very best in terms of opportunity, education and care.
