TEAM Multi-Academy Trust is looking for three ambitious and inspirational School Improvement Leads to play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering our vision for excellence across our schools. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Head of School/ leader who is passionate about improving outcomes for children and developing the expertise of teachers and leaders.

Working closely with the CEO, senior leaders and Heads of Schools, you will lead and support school improvement across the Trust through coaching, challenge and collaboration. From visiting schools, observing learning, working alongside leaders to evaluate curriculum impact and pupil outcomes, to facilitating professional networks and leading Trust-wide improvement initiatives, no two days will be the same. You will use evidence, data and research-informed practice to identify strengths, address priorities and ensure every school continues to improve.

A key part of the role will be building leadership capacity across the Trust, connecting colleagues, sharing best practice and creating opportunities for teachers and leaders to learn from one another. You will also contribute to the strategic direction of the Trust, identify and secure funding opportunities where appropriate and lead projects that drive innovation and excellence.

At TEAM MAT, we believe that collaboration is at the heart of successful school improvement. This role offers the opportunity to make a lasting difference not only to outcomes, but also to the professional growth of staff and the life chances of the children and communities we serve.

This is a one-year fixed-term (external) or secondment (internal) opportunity that provides an excellent professional development pathway for an ambitious leader seeking to broaden their experience beyond a single school setting. The role offers significant opportunities to develop strategic leadership skills, gain experience of Trust-wide school improvement, work alongside senior executive leaders and contribute to the development of educational strategy across multiple schools. It is ideally suited to an experienced Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher or senior leader looking to enhance their professional expertise, build leadership experience and take the next step in their leadership journey. The successful candidate will benefit from bespoke support and mentoring, making this an exceptional opportunity to further their career development while making a meaningful impact across TEAM Multi-Academy Trust.
