Education Development Trust Hiring for Senior Education Adviser Job at Reading, England Full Time

About the role

Job type: Fixed-term contract until end of December 2023, part-time (24.5 hours per week)
Salary: £45,000-50,000 FTE (dependent on experience)
Location: Reading-based role with flexibility to work from home. Occasional travel to various locations throughout England.
Benefits: We offer 30 days annual leave (+bank holidays), excellent training and development opportunities, and family friendly policies to support flexible working. We also offer a suite of voluntary benefits including a health cash plan, ride to work scheme, and retail discounts.
About us: Education Development Trust is an education charity that exists to transform lives by improving education around the world. We work collaboratively with national and local governments, schools and other partners to design and deliver sustainable solutions to improve education.

We are recruiting for a Senior Education Adviser to provide technical expertise to the Behaviour Hubs programme and play a key role in the technical design and creation of the training, materials and development to the programme. The role holder will provide ongoing quality assurance, monitoring and evaluation of the programme, and support the recruitment and matching of schools as well as promoting the programme across various stakeholder groups.

Behaviour Hubs is a one-year programme for schools, with the option to extend for a second year if needed, and a two-year programme for MATs. The programme is fully funded by the Department for Education (DfE) and provides schools with support, training and advice aimed at improving pupils’ behaviour and generating sustainable, cultural change which is tailored to each individual school.

The programme partners schools with a Lead School who has an exemplary track record in behaviour culture to provide senior leaders with bespoke support. There is also a stream for MATs who will be partnered in a similar way with a Lead MAT. The programme will run until December 2024.

To join the team, you will be a qualified teacher and have leadership, consulting or programme management experience. You will have excellent credentials in the design, delivery and evaluation/quality assurance of professional and/or whole school improvement programmes for teachers and school leaders.

As it’s 2021, you’ll have a good sense of how technology can support this – and perhaps where it doesn’t!

We are also interested in the following specialist expertise:

• people who have experience working with and engaging a range of stakeholders to ensure recruitment, retention, satisfaction and impact from programmes.
• people who have experience of delivering or overseeing school based programmes.

The majority of our work will be supporting the effective delivery of the programme, so you will have the credibility, humility, coaching and communication skills to support experienced teacher educators and leaders in a really wide range of contexts. You will be joining a broader education team who work across a range of programmes supporting teachers and practitioners to improve, from school culture and behaviour to communication in pre-school settings. In addition to programme work, you’ll get the chance to refine our methodologies, develop research and thought leadership publications, represent the organisation externally and work with a brilliant, multidisciplinary UK team who are completely committed to transforming life chances through education.

Closing date: Thursday 13th January 2022
Interviews will take place w/c 17th January 2022
