Teaching hours: 0.6 FTE will be based at one of Lionheart Trust's secondary schools. This will be matched to the candidate's experience, skills, and geographical preference where possible, but will reflect the needs of the trust.

0.4 FTE will be allocated to the successful candidate for a strategic role, focusing on developing leadership skills and undertaking improvement projects related to their subject and the trust’s development plan.
