Maths/STEM Lead Teacher

Meadowbrook College

At Meadowbrook College we provide full and part-time education and support to over 140 aged 5-16 students who are finding it difficult to access their mainstream schools. We offer our students another chance and provide a high quality, safe learning environment in which to develop positive behaviours and skills which can be used to improve their life chances. We work hard to ensure our young people achieve the best outcomes they can by creating individual educational packages which meet their needs and equip them for their next destination. Our hope for our students is that they will re-engage with learning, be successful and achieve their goals. Our aim is for every one of our students to move on to college, school, an apprenticeship or employment. 

We are seeking to recruit an outstanding Maths/STEM Lead Teacher to lead the development of the Maths/Science across the college for students aged 11-16 (with some collaboration with our Primary provision). You may be a Maths specialist with experience/ability to deliver Science and other STEM subjects or you may be a Science/Techology/Engineering specialist with the ability to teach Maths to GCSE, including to Higher level. This is an exciting leadership opportunity for a talented and committed professional with the ability to inspire and motivate students and staff alike; a unique opportunity to make a substantial contribution to further improving outcomes for a significant group of vulnerable and challenging learners and to shape and develop STEM teaching across the College. We are keen to expand our curriculum offer at Meadowbrook College and we are keen to develop delivery of the STEM subjects for our students. 

You will be: 

• A consistently good or outstanding teacher, with proven results in your subject and beyond 

• Highly motivated, with a passion for Maths/STE 

• Ready to lead with an ability to effectively develop the pedagogy and practice of others 

• A highly effective communicator and a real enthusiasm for providing the best curriculum for our students 

This post will include KS3/4 Maths teaching and the professional support and development of staff teaching Maths across the College. Key outcomes will relate to the further improvement of outcomes in Maths for all students. Meadowbrook College is located on four sites across Oxfordshire but staff usually teach on one base (you can choose). Leadership will require you to support colleagues on other bases but this is remunerated accordingly. 

Why work at Meadowbrook College? 

• Meadowbrook College staff are both professional and resilient. There is a “can do” attitude that makes a real difference to the lives of our students; many of whom have become disengaged with education and lost the confidence to achieve their full potential 

• We offer a variety of opportunities for the ongoing professional development of all staff 

• We are working in an ever changing and expanding educational climate where the need for alternative provision solutions is ever increasing. We are responding to this demand in a variety of exciting ways and there are many future opportunities for career progression at all levels. 

Please complete an application form and return to Maria Rees, Headteacher’s PA, at by 12pm on Friday 15 th May. Interviews will take place by Google Hangout week beginning 18th May 2020. We would consider a request to visit the College if selected for interview
