Head of Mathematics | Watford Area
💷 MPS/UPS + TLR 1b
📅 January or May 2027 start
📍 Watford / South Hertfordshire
Are you an ambitious Maths teacher ready to lead a department — or an experienced middle leader looking for your next challenge?
We’re working with an 11-18 secondary academy in the Watford area to appoint a Head of Mathematics to lead a department that is already on an exciting upward trajectory.
Maths has become one of the school’s most improved departments over the last couple of years. The foundations are in place; now the school is looking for someone with the ambition and subject expertise to take the department even further.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The opportunity
As Head of Mathematics, you’ll have the chance to:
- Lead and develop teaching and learning across Mathematics
- Shape an ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum across KS3, KS4 and KS5
- Develop the expertise and confidence of colleagues within the department
- Use assessment and student progress intelligently to drive further improvement
- Build a culture of high expectations where students are challenged and supported to succeed
- Access meaningful professional development and opportunities for wider leadership
The school has a clear approach to teaching: strong routines, explicit instruction, high expectations and a belief that every student is capable of achieving more.
