Computer Science, Business Studies and Economics Teachers and Leaders

About EMAT

EMAT is an exciting, innovative and growing organisation where we strive to do things differently, aligned with our core values and purpose: that every child deserves to be the best they can be.

Our Trust was incorporated in July 2012 to establish, maintain, manage and develop academies and free schools as world-class centres of excellence. We are a collaborative partnership that includes an all-through school in Northampton, a secondary school in Oundle, and primary schools across Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes.

By working for our Trust, you will be able to take advantage of a wealth of professional development and support opportunities, as well as a range of employee benefits.

Your career EMATersAt East Midlands Academy Trust (EMAT), we believe great teaching and leadership make a difference. We are keen to connect with passionate Computer Science, Business Studies and Economics Teachers, as well as current or aspiring subject leaders who want to inspire others, drive improvement and help shape the future of these subjects across our Trust.

Whether you are an established subject leader looking for your next challenge or an experienced teacher ready to take the next step into leadership, this is an opportunity to explore how you could contribute to curriculum development across EMAT. This may include developing an engaging Computer Science curriculum at KS3 and strengthening teaching, learning and outcomes in Computer Science, Business Studies and Economics at KS4 and KS5, while sharing best practice across our schools.

With opportunities to contribute to Trust-wide curriculum development and explore leadership responsibilities, including potential Teaching and Learning Responsibility (TLR) positions, we want to hear from people who are ambitious for themselves, their colleagues and the pupils they support.
