Would you relish the opportunity to create, shape and build our learning community, as a member of the founding team at Leigh Academy Rainham?

About the role: We are seeking to appoint a full time Curriculum Lead for Science who can deliver high quality learning opportunities for our students in Science. As the Science Lead, you will have whole-academy responsibility for this subject area and will develop and review the Maths curriculum on offer at Leigh Academy Rainham. Applications are welcomed from experienced teachers who are seeking to take on extra responsibility. As a start-up school this role will grow as our numbers increase, with the possibility of promotion to a Director of Learning position for the right candidate in the future. The role is offered on a full-time, permanent basis with an initial TLR of £2,873 based on the school opening with only Year 7 in its first year.

Due to the key role all new staff will play in shaping the learning community and experiences for our young people, please share with us in your personal statements any additional hobbies, talents and interests you may have that you could use to broaden our extra-curricular offer. We are looking to provide a variety of clubs and activities for pupils to access from year one for example chess, sports, choir, dance, gaming, Eco clubs, origami, media, journalism and astronomy or anything additional you can think of!

We are also looking to offer an appropriate financial incentive for a teacher with the appropriate skills and experiences to take on a Head of Pastoral role for year 7. This would initially be a fixed term, opportunity for one year which would be set for review the following year. If you would like to be considered for this opportunity please make this clear in your personal statement, outlining why you feel you would be appropriate for this role.​​​​​​​

What we are offering:

• A salary commensurate with the profile of the post 
• Bespoke CPD with mentoring and coaching opportunities
• The opportunity to work laterally across a number of Leigh Academies Trust schools to benchmark best practice and to be involved in teaching and learning innovation

We’d like to hear from candidates who are:

• An excellent teacher who is passionate about learning and has strong subject knowledge
• Collaborative, able to build strong professional relationships
• Able to motivate and inspire students and staff to achieve their full potential
• Energetic and have a can-do attitude
• Confident and has strong career aspirations
• Committed to safeguarding and the happiness and wellbeing of everyone at the Academy
• Prepared to be involved in leading co-curricular activities either within or outside of their teaching subject
