Job description
Cambridge Maths School is seeking a Director of Outreach .
Cambridge Maths School (CMS) is a new specialist sixth form developed in association with the University of Cambridge, with a focus on pioneering learning and increasing diversity in the field of maths. The school provides a diverse range of young people with access to a unique educational experience, located in bespoke facilities on Mill Road in Cambridge. The school offers A-Levels in mathematics, further mathematics, biology, chemistry, computer science and physics.
We are looking to appoint a dynamic and inspirational teacher, leader and manager who will take accountability for the development and delivery of all outreach projects. This leadership post is an opportunity for a knowledgeable and passionate educationalist who has experience working in a school to take on a broad-ranging role which has the potential for significant impact on young people with an enthusiasm for mathematics.
The post is full-time, though applicants wishing to work part-time will be considered. The expectation is that the successful candidate will also teach mathematics at the school. The post holder will be given a significant reduction in their teaching load to allow them to fulfil the role's responsibilities. Although we aim to undertake the majority of outreach during school hours (taster lessons, assemblies, etc.), some activities may happen outside of this (for example, early evening online revision classes and occasional Saturday open days), and so the successful candidate should be willing to offer some flexibility, when required, with their working hours.
