You will design and lead a whole-school instructional coaching programme, support colleagues at every career stage to strengthen their practice, and ensure the highest standards of teaching, learning and assessment are embedded across every curriculum area. Working closely with middle and senior leaders, you will help remove barriers to achievement and secure excellent outcomes for all students, whatever their starting point.

- Experience of leading whole-school or cross-school improvement initiatives, including designing and delivering high-quality professional development.
- Strong coaching and mentoring skills, with the ability to inspire, influence and develop colleagues at every career stage.
- The ability to translate educational research into practical, evidence-informed classroom approaches.
