Director of Learning and Standards - Science
About This Role
We are seeking to appoint a Director of Learning and Standards - science at Gospel Oak School who is aligned with our mission to support social justice through exceptional schools, our values and Our Distinctive Culture. You must have a passion for working in challenging circumstances, in an area of high deprivation and be keen to improve the life chances of all the students.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified teacher keen to start the next stage of their career and take their first step into middle leadership or an existing middle leader who is looking to start their journey into senior leadership. You will have had some experience in your current role with regards to leading an area of development within the department and will be able to demonstrate the impact that this has had. This position will give you the opportunity to expand your experience whilst playing to your strengths and passion for the subject.
