Science Leader

Who are we looking for?

We are interested in hearing from people who:

• Have a passion for Science and a clear vision for excellent teaching and learning.

• Can inspire curiosity, challenge thinking and raise aspirations.

• Are committed to developing colleagues, sharing effective practice and supporting professional growth.

• Want to contribute to Trust-wide science curriculum development, helping shape curriculum approaches, resources and teaching practice across our academies.

• Can identify opportunities for improvement and help raise standards and pupil outcomes.

• Are keen to collaborate across schools and contribute to wider Trust priorities.

• Are ambitious for their own development and interested in exploring future leadership opportunities, including roles with TLR responsibilities.

You may already be a Science Leader looking for your next challenge, or an experienced Science Teacher ready to take that next step. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who want to make an impact beyond their own classroom and contribute to the development of Science education across EMAT.

Develop your career with EMAT

We are committed to supporting our colleagues to develop their expertise and progress in their careers. Opportunities across our growing Trust can offer access to professional development, collaboration with colleagues across different academies and the chance to influence teaching, learning and curriculum development on a wider scale.

For colleagues looking to progress into leadership, there may be opportunities to take on additional responsibilities, contribute to Trust-wide priorities and explore positions with a Teaching and Learning Responsibility (TLR).

Our employee benefits include continuous professional development, leadership development opportunities, the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, a confidential 24-hour Employee Assistance Programme, health and wellbeing benefits, an employee lifestyle savings platform and generous family leave.

Let’s start a conversation

You do not need to be looking for a new role right now. If you are passionate about Science teaching and leadership, interested in curriculum development and keen to explore what a future with EMAT could look like, we would welcome an informal conversation.

Your next opportunity could be about more than leading a department. It could be about helping shape science education across EMAT.

To register your interest, contact hannah.fajemiyo@central.emat.uk and we will arrange a tour at one of our schools where you can meet with the team.
