Trust Teacher of Maths

The Role

Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust (FMAT) is looking for an enthusiastic Trust Teacher to join the team from 1 January 2025. Located at any one of our Academies the successful candidate will lead by example in the classroom, and will contribute to the work of the Mathematics team to ensure excellent outcomes for our students. If you are an outstanding Teacher with drive, resilience and ambition then we would love to hear from you.

We would also welcome applicants from candidates looking to move into Maths from another specialism. Are you already an experienced, capable teacher with a passion for innovation and a determination to help children overcome obstacles to learning? With a passion for mathematics, you’ve always wanted to be a maths teacher but you’re not certain how to make the subject switch.

 

The answer is simple: join Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust.

To join us, you’ll need a good track record in teaching any subject plus a lifelong love of numbers. We’ll do the rest. Because what really matters is your attitude and the way you see the world. We see it as a place where young people from every background should have the same chance of success – a place where barriers to learning are dismantled and where outcomes depend on people’s potential, not their postcode.

Our mission is to enrich lives and transform futures. Every day we go the extra mile to make this happen across our four academies within the West Midlands. We’ll do the same for you, via comprehensive training and tailored professional development, delivered via our dedicated in-house unit to make you the Maths Teacher you’ve always wanted to be. This is a particularly exciting time to join our Trust, and this post represents an increase in FMAT’s School Improvement Team.

This challenging and rewarding role requires an individual who is inspirational, passionate and highly effective. Those who work for our Trust do so because they are values-driven, having our students’ best interests at heart.

As part of FMAT, you can help us inspire and enable young people to build successful lives and benefit from outstanding learning. CPD opportunities for those wanting to move into senior leadership and/or more senior Trust roles in the future will be offered, alongside a range of high-quality training and leadership opportunities, including a current partnership with Ambition School Leadership, enhancing learning and teaching.
