Primary Teaching for Mastery Specialist Recruitment round-NOW OPEN! 

Following the success of the previous seven cohorts of the Mastery Specialist Programme, the NCETM and Maths Hubs are now seeking to recruit an eighth cohort of expert primary school teachers to develop and work as Primary Mastery Specialists.  

 

Cheshire and Wirral Maths Hubs are seeking to appoint primary teachers/leaders with a passion for Maths who can work with schools in the following areas: Cheshire West and Chester, Cheshire East, Wirral, Halton.
