Start: September Lift Schools is one of the largest and most ambitious multi-academy trusts in England. With schools across five regions, our mission is clear: to provide an excellent education for every child, in every classroom, every day. Geography sits at the heart of that mission. We believe that a strong geography experience is a critical component of an excellent education, ensuring that young people are empowered to excel academically and to be effective local, national and global citizens.

This role blends strategic development with practical hands-on support. Working closely with school leaders, teachers and central colleagues, your work will focus on improving geography curriculum quality, teaching practice and pupil outcomes at scale and within specific schools in our network.

This is a highly influential role, combining vision, expertise and collaboration to make a meaningful difference to thousands of children nationwide.

There aren't many opportunities to drive your subject forward at a high leadership and impact level with flexible working and (funded) national travel. A real chance to make a lasting difference to children's lives. The role is due to commence September 2026.
