Job Description

Joint School Working Leader (Cross MAT working)

Kingston Primary School and Montgomerie Primary School

Are you a future leader in primary education? Are you looking for a new challenge?

We are seeking a highly motivated and excellent classroom practitioner who is ready for the challenges that leadership can bring. This post is full time but part time would be considered for the right candidate.

Kingston Primary and Montgomerie Primary Schools have recently come together to form the Robus Multi Academy Trust. This is an exciting time as both schools are also involved in the newly formed Benfleet Teaching School Alliance.

This new role will involve working across both schools to develop links between the teaching staff and facilitate joint ways of working allowing staff at both schools to achieve more by working smarter not harder. The post will carry a 2 day teaching commitment in upper Key Stage 2 initially. Training and experience as a SENCO would be an advantage but is not essential.

This position will allow you to work alongside the strong leaders of both schools to lead joint working and will provide the successful candidate to develop their own skills as well as coaching others to achieve the best possible outcomes for children across both schools.

You will need to have:

• Proven track record of successful classroom practice

• An ability to lead, develop and improve others to achieve high standards

• A focus on teaching and learning, impacting upon the educational progress of all pupils

• An area of expertise to share, lead and inspire others

• A commitment to cross school joint working to achieve the best results for children

We will offer you

• Fantastic opportunities for career development and CPD through the teaching school alliance

• Two highly skilled and friendly teams who are committed to continuously raising standards

• Enthusiastic, lively and well behaved children who enjoy school, are proud of their community and keen to learn

• A key role in the development of cross school working in the MAT

• The possibility of working in a larger number of schools as the MAT grows

Informal discussions about the role with Mrs. Tania Perry at Kingston or Mr. Anthony Cosans at Montgomerie are welcome and visits to both schools are encouraged and can be arranged by making an appointment with either school office. Application forms are available from Montgomerie Primary School.

Closing date 3^rd October

Interviews week beginning 13^th October

The Robus Multi Academy Trust is committed to the safeguarding of children and young people and expect all staff, visitors and volunteers to share in this commitment. Following safer recruitment procedures the appointment will be subject to satisfactory references, medical clearances and enhanced DBS checks.
