What skills and experience we're looking for
Key Requirements
Applications are invited from suitably qualified, experienced and enthusiastic teachers to assist in the leadership of the maths department, as Assistant Subject Leader. This is an excellent opportunity to develop leadership skills whilst being supported by our maths leadership team. The post also requires the teaching of Maths at Key Stage 3 and GCSE Maths at Key Stage 4. Opportunities to join our A-Level Maths team are available for a suitable candidate should they have the appropriate experience or wish to further develop their practice, but this is not essential and would not prevent suitable candidates from being shortlisted, if they meet the person specification
