At Get Further, we’re on a mission to ensure every student secures the English and maths qualifications they need to thrive – and we know brilliant teaching is the key. That’s why we’re launching a bold, national CPD programme to support FE teachers to deliver world-class instruction in English, maths and inclusive practice.

We’re now looking for three exceptional educators in English, maths or SEND to join us as CPD Managers. You’ll lead training across the country, build strong partnerships with colleges and training providers, and design impactful resources that bring evidence-informed teaching to life.

• Lead training delivery for English, maths or SEND teachers in colleges nationwide
• Build relationships with providers and ensure a high-impact programme experience
• Co-design workshops, coaching sessions and resources rooted in great pedagogy
• Tailor delivery to setting needs and support staff to embed new approaches
• Work closely with our Head of CPD to refine our offer and drive excellence

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, maths or supporting learners with SEND, 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 and/or maths at GCSE level
Proven experience of designing and delivering high-quality CPD
In-depth knowledge of effective teaching and learning approaches
Ability to build strong working relationships
Excellent communication, interpersonal and stakeholder management skills
Familiarity with data-driven programme improvement and safeguarding best practices

Experience in the Further Education sector and leading national training initiatives is a bonus – but not essential.
