Our client is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people by creating opportunities to learn, grow, and develop through Education. As an independent funder, the charity generates income from its endowment, which includes substantial property holdings and financial investments. This means it does not fund raise.

In addition to working for Charity, the post holder will also support the COO of the foundation in its newly developing communications work. This will require working across 2 schools, and the Charity in collaboration with the communications teams across the Foundation.
The person:
The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience in a similar social media or digital communications role, ideally within the charity or not-for-profit sector but equally having come from a commercial setting, where an active interest in charitable work can be clearly evidenced.

About us
Parallel Academy is an ambitious charitable initiative founded by Simon Singh, best known as the author of Fermat’s Last Theorem. We currently support over 3,000 students through our maths enrichment activities, around 700 of whom receive dedicated weekly, small-group online tutorials in The Parallel Academy. Our mission is to support students on our programmes to fulfil their mathematical potential, by providing them with the opportunity to develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills beyond the curriculum. Our students are motivated and ambitious. Although our maths programme is optional and takes place outside of school hours, students have an average attendance above 95%.
Overview
Our team is broadly divided into two arms, administrative and educational, and we are seeking a Director of Education to steer the latter. This is a senior role responsible for ensuring that our offerings are aligned to our expectations and pedagogical aims, and for helping to scale the project to reach thousands more students each year. We are a growing organisation and have made significant strides since our inception, but believe there is room to strengthen and expand our offering.
Person specification
We are searching for an experienced maths leader who is excited, not only to sustain our current model, but to help build and scale-up our work in different directions. We would love to find someone who:

- Develop enough awareness of the administrative side of our work to deputise for the COO when needed, and to suggest improvements across our day-to-day processes.
- Undertake key teaching responsibilities across the week, especially for ‘high-tariff’ sessions (e.g. homework review sessions) that only our best tutors are entrusted with.
- Advise on and implement policies for working with schools during and after admissions, ensuring that schools remain engaged with us at key points in the year and holding them to account for providing necessary inputs (e.g. nominations, UKMT scores).
- Identify and develop relationships with external partners (school groups, maths hubs and other key organisations) to expand the reach of the Academy. Many of these will come from your own network of maths contacts.
- Help to shape and build on our ethos of high expectations, which translates into concrete policies regarding attendance, homework, participation and criteria for both admitting and removing students from our Tutorial Programme.
- Provide key input into new offerings such as a more ambitious primary programme, a Further Maths programme and university application support for sixth form students.
Undertake any other tasks commensurate with the role and which may be reasonably required.
Requirements
- BA and/or PGCE in Mathematics
Person specification

- Have extensive teaching experience, preferably in a school-based setting
