You’re the kind of educator who reads teaching blogs for fun and gets excited about a perfectly planned inset day. You’ve spent years in the classroom teaching English, now you’re looking to take your expertise to the next level. You know the joy (and chaos) of a breakthrough moment with a student, and you’ve got a knack for bringing the same spark to your colleagues through coaching, mentoring or CPD sessions.

You believe that every learner deserves access to great teaching and you want to play a national role in making that happen. Whether you’re facilitating a workshop, designing evidence-based training, or giving thoughtful feedback after a lesson observation, you lead with empathy, energy and purpose.

You’re ready to jump into a role where your ideas will shape practice across the country. You might be a bit of a pedagogy nerd (we love that), you’re collaborative to the core, and you’re not afraid to be bold when it matters.

If that sounds like you—we can’t wait to meet you.

We’re seeking a CPD Manager who brings:

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS or international equivalent)
3+ years’ teaching experience in English at GCSE level, with SEND-specific teaching experience
Proven experience of designing and delivering high-quality CPD
In-depth knowledge of effective teaching and learning approaches

Excellent communication, interpersonal and stakeholder management skills
Familiarity with data-driven programme improvement and safeguarding best practices
