This role includes:
- In-depth facilitation and regular content contributions to relevant STEM Community Groups (in collaboration with Community Managers);
- Feeding in evidence-based CPD needs analysis, scrutinising the need for new CPD development, development of CPD as appropriate (which may require further draw-down contract days from allocation);
- Co-design (with STEM Learning) of offers and approaches, informed by their contribution to horizon scanning within their area of expertise;
- Contributing to STEM Learning’s thought-leadership externally;
- Contributing to STEM Learning’s editorial activity for demand generation and recruitment;
- Running remote network-wide events appropriate to the specialism e.g. FE networks, early career teacher networks;

- Contributing to collaboration and partnerships with external partners;
- Supporting the wider capacity building of SLPs against the High Performance Criteria beyond their specialist area e.g. coaching and mentoring.
