You will:

- Manage, support and hold teachers and onsite staff accountable
- Ensure every classroom meets Brainology's expected teaching standards
- Monitor the quality of teaching, behaviour and student engagement
- Observe and assess teachers and provide constructive feedback

- Act as the senior point of contact for parents
- Handle parent questions, concerns and escalations professionally
- Ensure parents receive meaningful feedback regarding their child's progress
- Oversee student attendance, registrations, trials and handovers
- Take responsibility for safeguarding procedures and incidents
- Ensure appropriate policies and procedures are followed throughout the centre

QTS is advantageous but not essential where significant education leadership experience can be demonstrated.
Pay & Working Pattern
£100–£120 per day, depending on experience
Every Saturday
10:00am–2:30pm
This could be particularly suitable for an experienced education professional looking for an additional leadership position alongside their existing career.
You must be able to commit consistently to Saturdays during Brainology's operating calendar.
Safeguarding
Because this position involves responsibility for children, the successful candidate must be suitable to work with children and will be subject to the appropriate enhanced DBS, safeguarding, identity, right-to-work and reference checks.
Why Brainology?
Brainology is an established supplementary education provider supporting children across Birmingham in English, Maths, Science and 11+ preparation from KS1 through to GCSE.
Our centres support a large number of students each week, and our continued growth means strong onsite leadership is essential.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of your own centre, lead a team of education professionals and directly influence the standard of education and experience delivered to our students.
Apply
Please apply with your CV and a short explanation of your education leadership experience, including the teams or educational settings you have previously managed.
Applications without relevant education leadership experience will not be progressed.
