Full Time - Permanent post
We are seeking to appoint a dynamic Lead Practitioner of Science with whole school responsibility within the senior leadership team responsible for curriculum, teaching and learning, and assessment.
We would be excited to hear from you if:
1) You are an experienced leader with a proven track record of excellence in your Science specialism seeking a new challenge e.g. the opportunity to take on whole school responsibility as well as subject specialist responsibility.
2) You are an excellent science practitioner and are ambitious (and ready) to gain experience leading within your subject specialism and with wider whole school responsibility enabling you to have a wider impact outside your own classroom (both with teachers and students).
Potential candidates will:
• have a demonstrable passion for the subject, with the ability to help children successfully master an ambitious Science curriculum;
• possess the qualities to grow into a highly effective leader, such as the ability to influence others, be highly reflective, possess an unwavering work ethic, have high levels of emotional intelligence and professional integrity;
• be lifelong learner, always striving to be a better teacher, who is personally ambitious and able to pick things up quickly;
• want to work in a fully inclusive, diverse and ambitious school, providing a first-class education to our children, where you can really make a difference to young people.
This is an exciting time to join us: you will become a part of a close knit and determined team on a journey to become a high performing, fully inclusive, outstanding provider of education, both within the science team and wider across the school.
As a developing or experienced leader, you would have access to excellent leadership development opportunities and support within the school and beyond as part of United Learning. This would include access to specialist expertise in the United Learning subject advisors; the national leadership development programmes; the sharing of best practice from, and in collaboration with, Science departments across the United Learning national network; access to a leadership coach on a regular basis and supportive line management from an experienced senior leader.
We appreciate that moving to a new school is a significant decision, so we wish to extend an open invite for you to meet us. Please contact Vicky Ovens on 01243 871068 or email vicky.ovens@theregisschool.co.uk to arrange a visit to the school or a phone conversation.
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive an overwhelming response. Interviews will be arranged on the receipt of positive applications.
Closing date: Friday 20th May at 9am
Interviews: w/c 23rd May 2022
