What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you seeking a new opportunity to join a highly successful comprehensive school that is committed to providing an outstanding education of excellence for all? Would you like to be a successful Lead Practitioner who would thrive when working with other committed and innovative practitioners? The Halley Academy is now recruiting a Lead Practitioner who will lead on coordinating the support for our ECTs at the Academy.

If this sounds like an environment within which you would like to work, apply to join our team. The successful applicant will be enthusiastic, flexible, well organised and able to work as part of a team as well as having the ability to work alone when required.

What the school offers its staff

This is a truly fantastic opportunity for a passionate educator to become part of a well established, collaborative and successful Lead Practitioner team which ensures that the highest teaching and learning standards are modelled and developed across the Academy. Lead Practitioners do this work through whole-academy initiatives and bespoke support which enhance the learning of staff, students and parents/carers.

This vacancy has arisen as the current post holder is retiring after decades of happy service at the Academy. We have a long track record of providing excellent support to our trainee teachers, many remaining at the Academy and progressing in their careers with us. Within the role, you will coordinate the support for ECTs through mentorship, observations and internal training sessions to support teaching and learning. You will work closely with our ECT training provider, and will be responsible for ensuring ECTs meet the program deadlines and requirements. In September 2024, we will be a newly established training hub for ECTs and mentors across the local community. As part of this role, you will act as the facilitator for these sessions, working with our training provider to lead training for ECTs and mentors from several schools and academies, throughout the year.

We deem this to be a great position on the basis that

  • We offer a vibrant and committed Academy, passionate about all subjects and dedicated to supporting students throughout their learning experience and securing the best possible outcomes for them.
  • We offer pupils the very best in learning opportunities by delivering high-quality teaching via our bespoke curriculums, alongside inspiring extracurricular opportunities.
  • We believe in developing staff into outstanding practitioners through our excellent CPD programmes.
  • This is further supported through our membership of the Leigh Academies Trust which provides regular teach-meets and co-operative training sessions within the trust to facilitate staff and student growth.
