Specialist Lead Practitioner, North Yorkshire Coast Schools in Science

Salary: L11-15 (£48,991 - £53,964) plus a comprehensive benefits and relocation package.

Do you have the leadership and vision to raise standards across the North Yorkshire coast?

We are searching for experienced, successful and inspiring individuals to take a lead in raising standards of teaching and learning on the North Yorkshire coast, with the goal of narrowing the attainment gap. Based at George Pindar School in Scarborough, you will be responsible for raising standards in science at George Pindar as well as in the other schools in the coastal area.

As a Specialist Lead Practitioner, you will have the opportunity to take a lead role in whole school coaching and mentoring, developing and sharing best practice across George Pindar School. You will provide intervention sessions for groups of targeted students, for example our students of highest ability and those in receipt of Pupil Premium to ensure they make the best possible progress.

Outside of your school, you will work with Specialist Practitioner colleagues across the coast to develop and influence teaching practices, increasing the provision of outstanding teaching in your subject area. Developing key strategies of specialist support in school is integral to this role, and you will be expected to apply these strategies across North Yorkshire coast schools, with expanding outreach over time.

This role offers an outstanding career development opportunity for someone who wants to increase their impact and make a real difference to a large number of students across the North Yorkshire coast; an opportunity that will provide the right individual with a firm and substantial ‘stepping stone’ into Senior Leadership. To support you in your development we can provide a comprehensive re-location package and a personalised programme of continuing professional development.

In return, we want someone who continually seeks to develop their own practice, who maintains an expert knowledge of training and research and who can apply their learning in relation to ‘teaching standards’ and outstanding classroom practice. If you are passionate about learning, if you are passionate about leadership, if you are passionate about the success of young people then we would welcome your application.
