Job description

Passionate about computing education? Want to inspire pupils of all ages through STEM?

Committed to transforming lives through education?

Do you have deep expertise in computing education, digital learning curriculum design and

pedagogy, and a proven track record of securing strong outcomes for young people?

CAM Academy Trust is seeking a Trust Lead for Computing and Digital Learning to shape and

deliver our vision for digital excellence across our family of schools. This is a rare opportunity to

lead the development of our Trust-wide digital learning strategy, ensuring that technology

enhances teaching, learning and outcomes for every pupil.

We are looking for a highly credible practitioner and leader who combines subject expertise with

strategic thinking. You will champion high-quality computing education and digital learning,

support schools to develop innovative and evidence-informed digital pedagogy, and drive

improvement through collaboration, professional learning and curriculum excellence. You will

be knowledgeable, and able to advise and support decision-making around when ed-tech may

enhance learning and also when it may not.

A key priority for the role will be to rapidly, but sustainably, raise standards in computing across

our schools. You will work collaboratively, with computing leaders and teachers across our

schools to develop a thriving subject community. You will lead in a way that will secure

sustainable excellence. You will be particularly driven by improving outcomes for our most

vulnerable and disadvantaged young people.

As a key member of our wider school improvement team, you will also lead the development of

our approach to artificial intelligence, shaping both our AI strategy and the professional learning

that will equip staff to use AI confidently, responsibly and effectively.

At CAM, we are making an absolute commitment to placing STEM at the heart of our pupil

entitlement as part of a strong place-based offer, given our schools are in the regional orbit of

Cambridge. We are seeking someone who is excited by this ambition and ready to build the

local and regional partnerships, industry links and opportunities that will inspire young people

and prepare them for the future. You will play a leading role in ensuring our STEM offer is

innovative, relevant and cutting edge.

As a Trust we are committed to the concept of all-through education. Our primaries feed into

our secondaries. There is an exciting opportunity here to work collaboratively on an all-through

digital strategy. We are keen to hear from candidates who have some experience in both primary

and secondary, even if their experience is predominantly in one or the other.

The post-holder will teach. Teaching is at the heart of what we do and holding a teaching

commitment supports that important principle. There is flexibility around the teaching

commitment, which will not be full time, and this can be discussed and agreed with the

successful candidate.

If you are a credible, smart and forward-thinking leader who wants to make a system-wide

impact across a thriving and ambitious trust, we would love to hear from you.

Join us and help shape the future of computing, digital learning, AI and STEM for thousands

of young people.
