Leadership Opportunities

Start your journey to becoming a local leader of mathematics or LLME for short by participating in one or more of the NCETM's centrally-run professional development programmes.

Our LLMEs are based at a range of different schools and institutions and draw on their own experience and expertise to support the work of the hub and lead other teachers' professional development.

LLMEs include Maths Hub Leads, Assistant Maths Hub Leads, Work Group Leads, Cohort Leads and Community Leads. 

For many LLMEs, leading Maths Hubs work is an alternative to the traditional career progression path of senior leadership.
