Job description
We are seeking a passionate, experienced and highly skilled teacher-leader to take on the role of Team Leader of Maths at The Quest Academy. This is one of the most significant leadership roles in our school, carrying direct responsibility for the quality of education, curriculum design and student outcomes across the department.
You may be an experienced Team Leader ready for a new challenge, or an excellent teacher who is ready to take the next step into middle leadership. Either way, you will be ambitious for your students and colleagues, and committed to delivering an exceptional education for all.
As Team Leader, you will lead curriculum planning and review, oversee the quality of teaching and learning across the department, line manage your team and drive continuous improvement through evidence-informed practice. You will benefit from the support of a dedicated Deputy Principal, the wider SLT and the specialist resources of The Collegiate Trust central team.
TQA is a great place for professional growth. Colleagues benefit from regular, weekly CPD, 1:1 instructional coaching, a bespoke Professional Development Journal and access to NPQ and Masters programmes. Our motto, “Learning Changes Lives”, applies as much to staff as it does to students, and it gives an indication of the significance we place on nurturing talent and leadership at every level.
I would be delighted to receive an application from you if, upon consideration, you feel that this role and The Quest Academy may be right for you.
Applications are handled on Teaching Vacancies (GOV.UK).
