Nearly ready to jump into leadership in Maths?

We’ll help you make the leap.

You know you’ve got most of the skills to be a brilliant Subject Leader in Maths. After all, you’re already a great maths teacher as well as an effective communicator and a real people person. But it’s a big step to take, and you know you’ll need the right support to make it happen.

Enter Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust.

Releasing potential is what we’re all about. That’s why our motto is Enriching Lives; Transforming Futures. That doesn’t just apply to our students, many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds. We’re also passionate about getting the most out of our teachers so they can accelerate our mission of overcoming barriers to learning.

You may be certain that we’ll invest heavily in your professional development, with a tailored in-house programme that will give you everything you need to become an innovative, inspired and inspiring Head of Maths. Once you’ve got the skills, you’ll be in pole position to make the move as soon as a substantive post becomes free at one of our four academies across the West Midlands.

If you share our belief that young people from every background should have the same chances of success and that outcomes should depend on people’s potential, not their postcode, we can promise you the career of a lifetime. We’ll also reward you with an amazing package, including a local government or teacher’s pension, a wide-ranging employee assistance programme, the Perkbox wellness hub and discount platform, salary sacrifice options, green car and cycle-to-work schemes, onsite parking, free flu jabs, fitness initiatives and more. And if you have your own children, they’ll benefit from priority admission to the academy of your choice, so you’ll be able to pass your success to the next generation.

So now you’ve looked at what we can offer, it’s time to take the next step.
