About the Role

A further education provider in the region is looking for an interim leader to take charge of its Maths curriculum area. You'll provide day-to-day leadership to the teaching team, keeping delivery on track and learners progressing while the post is covered.

You'll oversee the quality of teaching, learning and assessment across the area, support and develop your staff, and use data on attendance, retention and achievement to target improvement where it's needed most.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading and managing the Maths teaching team on a day-to-day basis.
  • Overseeing the quality of teaching, learning and assessment across the curriculum area.
  • Monitoring learner attendance, retention, achievement and progress, and acting on the data.
  • Supporting, developing and motivating teaching staff.
  • Managing timetabling, staffing and resources across the area.
  • Working with wider curriculum and support colleagues to maintain consistent standards.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Experience of teaching Maths within further education
  • Experience of leading, managing or coordinating a team
  • A relevant UK teaching qualification such as QTS, QTLS, PGCE, Cert Ed, DTLLS or DET
  • Strong understanding of curriculum quality, learner outcomes and performance data
  • Excellent communication, organisational and leadership skills

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Previous experience in a Curriculum Manager, Head of Department or equivalent role
  • Experience of GCSE and Functional Skills Maths provision

If you're an experienced Maths leader ready to step into an interim role and keep a curriculum area moving forward, we'd love to hear from you.
