NIoT is at the forefront of enhancing teacher development by generating and interpreting robust, school-led research. As a Senior Research Fellow, you will join a dynamic team of experts engaged in pioneering research and the effective mobilisation of evidence into practice. We are seeking individuals who are passionate about translating educational research into meaningful impact for practitioners and policymakers. If you are eager for a new challenge and committed to making a real difference in education, we warmly encourage your application.

About us

The National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) is a school-led and research-informed organisation operating across England providing teacher and leadership training, from initial teacher education (ITE) to a dedicated course for CEOs of multi-academy trusts. The NIoT is among the largest national providers of ITE and trains thousands of teachers a year, across four regional teams and six campuses. We are committed to high quality, evidence-informed teacher education, and are on a mission to improve the quality of teacher and leader development across the system.

About the role

In your role as Senior Research Fellow within our Impact team, you will take a lead in advancing research mobilisation focused on teacher training and professional development. Working in close partnership with the Head of Impact and colleagues across NIoT, you will play a central role in promoting the use of high-quality evidence, bridging the gap between research and teacher development, and building strong relationships with a wide array of stakeholders, including academics, educators, and policymakers.

A key responsibility will be to oversee the ongoing development of the NIoT’s Evidence Portal. Your work will empower those involved in designing and delivering professional development to make evidence-informed decisions. In addition, you will contribute to the refinement and delivery of NIoT’s Impact Framework, shaping the organisation’s self-evaluation, monitoring, and strategic planning processes.

The NIoT vision is a school system that nurtures the talents of teachers and leaders at all stages of their careers, so they can provide children with the excellent education they deserve. This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to make a tangible and immediate impact to improve the quality of teacher and leader development at a system level.

Key benefits:

  • Generous Annual Leave – 27 days’ holiday a year (plus 8 bank holidays) rising to 33 days after five years’ service.

  • Flexible Working – we offer flexible start and end working times, with hybrid working in place for all roles.

  • Pension - Entry to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

  • Salary Sacrifice Schemes – We offer salary sacrifice schemes for bikes, cars and tech!

  • Lifestyle Benefits – We offer discounts on gyms, cinema, retail and much more!

  • Parenthood Leave – We offer above the statutory minimum for maternity, adoption and paternity leave.

  • Working Environment – We have a stimulating, supportive and rewarding working environment with a dedicated team of likeminded professionals.

  • Support - Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provides confidential support for employees on personal or work-related matters.

  • Development - We fully support the development of our staff and ensure that you have high level of continuous professional development.

We think a wide range of different work and educational experiences could support you to be successful in this role. We encourage applications from all backgrounds, communities and industries, and are committed to employing a team that has diverse skills, experiences and abilities.
