This is a career defining opportunity for an outstanding Science educator to influence practice well beyond their own classroom or academy. Working across a family of academies, you will be a catalyst for improvement, helping schools develop thriving Science departments, ambitious curricula and high performing teams that inspire students to become the scientists, innovators and problem solvers of tomorrow.

What You'll Be Doing

As Regional Subject Lead for Science, you will be a trusted advisor, coach and strategic leader, working across the South Region to strengthen teaching, develop leadership capacity and improve student outcomes.

From leading professional development programmes and supporting curriculum planning to reviewing departmental effectiveness and developing future leaders, you will play a central role in ensuring the highest standards of Science education are embedded across our academies.

You will not simply support improvement; you will help shape it.

Your Regional Reach

This highly rewarding role offers the opportunity to work across academies throughout London, Bristol, Southampton. You will spend your time where it matters most, alongside school leaders and teaching teams, supporting academies on their improvement journey and helping them achieve excellence.

Together, We Make a Difference

This role offers a rare opportunity to contribute to educational transformation across an entire region. Rather than impacting one academy, you will help shape the experiences and outcomes of thousands of young people across multiple communities.

You will join a trust that is committed to continuous improvement, values professional growth and believes in the power of education to create social change. Working alongside talented colleagues and educational leaders, you will have the opportunity to influence regional strategy, develop future leaders and leave a lasting legacy across our academies.
