Curriculum, Teaching and Achievement Advisor - History (Secondary)

We are now recruiting for the post of Curriculum, Teaching and Achievement Advisor - History (Secondary) to start in September 2026. The successful candidate will be the lead professional in this curriculum area across the Trust's secondary academies in Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 5, providing strategic support to subject and senior leaders. The role will focus on curriculum development and innovation in line with the best evidence-based research, our commitment to IB programmes and the Ofsted Framework. You will report directly to a member of the Trust Executive and will be part of a team of 17 Curriculum, Teaching and Achievement Advisors, each leading on a different curriculum area. You will be based at our Strood Head Office, but will inevitably want to spend a good deal of your time visiting our academies to provide the strategic support necessary to raise standards.

We are looking for a secondary trained history expert with superb subject and curriculum knowledge. You will currently be an outstanding Head of Humanities or senior leader, such as Assistant Principal. Most of your focus will be across our secondary academies, but opportunities also exist to support our primary curriculum development in the designated subject area. You will be a high-performing professional with a strong commitment to raising standards across the board for young people.

We wish to hear from you if you really want to change our education world and are:

• an enthusiastic, energetic and ambitious leader with a track record of success;
• a motivational and inspirational leader with high expectations of staff;
• confident and able to communicate a clear vision;
• approachable and keen to work with staff across the Trust to ensure wide success;
• able to develop excellent relationships with all stakeholders.
