Secondary Maths Adviser

About the role

Hours: full time at 37 hours per week 52 weeks per year (part time or term-time only will be considered) 

Salary: up to FTE £61,000 p.a.  

Are you an outstanding leader in maths and ready for something different?  

Would you like to work with maths departments and leaders to develop maths across a range of schools and settings?  

If so, then we would like to hear from you.  

We are looking for an exceptional maths leader to work with a wide range of schools and settings, departments across Hertfordshire and beyond to share the very best practice and develop maths provision.  

As an adviser you would be visiting schools, advising departments and senior leaders, observing lessons and working to help improve the standards of secondary maths across schools in Hertfordshire and beyond. You will work alongside a team of subject secondary advisers and sometimes with Trust central teams. 

In addition to working with leaders and teachers you would be involved in training and student-level work too, such as running our online revision classes and providing walking-talking mocks. Whilst being good with numbers is important, so is being good with people and we are looking for warm, credible and intelligent practitioner who can support others to become more effective in their practice.  

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled Maths professional to utilise their expertise and experience and to support the next generation of teachers and students to thrive. 

Our ‘working from anywhere’ approach provides colleagues the opportunity to work flexibly in line with their role requirements. This consists of working on-site across various schools and settings, remote working and, if desired, up to 2 days per week in our Head Office in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. The ability to reach different locations by car will be essential for this role. If you drive, then a full driving licence and appropriate car insurance will be required. As there is some degree of home working to this role, you will need to ensure you are equipped to manage aspects of the job from home.  

Benefits: a generous employer pension contribution, 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays (rising to 31 days after five-years) or the equivalent paid for Term Time employees, family-friendly policies, hybrid working, paid mileage, a cycle to work scheme, access to mental health and wellbeing support, professional development opportunities, benefit schemes for discounts and cashback offers.

We are committed towards becoming an anti-racist organisation, and our recruitment statement is set out below in support of this. 

HFL is committed to being an equal opportunities employer. We insist on the equal treatment of all current and prospective colleagues and will never condone discrimination on the basis of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership. 

HFL is also equally committed to becoming an anti-racist organisation and we encourage you to view our Anti-racist position statement which gives clarity on our anti-racist stance. In our relentless efforts to be an anti-racist organisation, we recognise the negative impacts of under representation and lack of diversity in our organisation, our education system and in all aspects of our society. Therefore, for recruitment into any HFL post, where we have 2 or more candidates of equal merit, candidates with protected characteristics will be given advantage over candidates without such characteristics. This is sometimes referred to as a ‘tie-breaker’ and is referred to as ‘positive action’ in the Equality Act 2010.
