About the Trust

This is an exciting opportunity to join an award winning Multi Academy Trust and be part of a welcoming and supportive team that serves amazing children and young people. Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016, with 19 unique SEND and mainstream academies.

We are a growing, forward thinking and innovative Trust with a shared ethos, vision and values for a personalised child centred approach.

Our Opportunity

We are excited to be recruiting to a new post of English Consultant, to work to our Assistant CEO – School Improvement on the delivery of the Trust’s Collaborative School Improvement Framework with a specific focus on communication, oracy, phonics, reading and writing.

The vision for Nexus MAT is that we are “Learning together, to be the best we can be”, and the leadership style of the successful candidate will be a key determining factor in the selection process. We want someone who understands the importance of servant leadership and who consistently applies appreciative enquiry methodology.

The post will be paid on School Teacher Pay and Conditions Document Leadership Points L2 – L6. Whilst the post is 4 days per week, Nexus MAT is a flexible employer and we are therefore open to agreement on what working pattern is applied.
