Use of AI in application: We recognise that AI can be a useful tool when drafting your job application.

About the role

We expect the Consultant CPD Manager to deliver on average approximately four in-person workshops per month (often Wednesdays), focusing on evidence-informed teaching practices for GCSE English resit provision.
