Salary: L1 – 5 £53,586 to £59,137

Hours: Full Time

Teaching hours: This will be dependent on need and geographical preference of the successful candidate

This is an exciting position for a highly effective classroom teacher who is ready to embark on their next stage of their career and gain some whole school leadership experience. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic about making a difference beyond their own classroom and ready to make a difference to a wide range of learners. They will be a confident and competent practitioner with a track record of strong outcomes and they will bring with them creative ideas, a willingness to work hard as part of a team, and the drive and determination to research, design and undertake a whole school improvement project through to a positive outcome.

The right candidate will be flexible and will embrace the opportunity to network across the Lionheart schools with other subject specialists and leaders. They will be prepared to join other teams at other Lionheart schools to support our range of diverse contexts, after the first initial year in post. This opportunity will allow them to gain a breadth of experience and embrace new challenges supporting them to develop into a strong trust wide leader of the future.

The successful candidate will be a subject specialist and will understand that their first and foremost responsibility is to model excellence in the classroom, monitoring the progress their learners make and be able to teach across KS3 and KS4. Some experience of teaching at KS5 would be desirable but not essential.
