We are seeking to appoint an inclusive, highly organised and resilient Head of Year to take on the challenge of supporting our school community through the school’s values, and who can communicate clearly, and with kindness, with parents and carers. Attendance and behaviour are two key School Development Priorities, and we want someone with the knowledge, skills and expertise to drive standards whilst maintaining excellent relationships with all stakeholders. The ability, and willingness, to teach outside of your subject, if required, is also highly desirable.
You must be able to build great relationships with students and staff, be calm and controlled, and be able to follow our behaviour and reward systems consistently. You will be working within a busy school environment and will need to have high expectations of our learners and our staff.
Our behaviour systems are consistent and inclusive; staff are expected to take a relational approach with students when applying them.
We provide excellent training, development and learning opportunities.
We offer:
Enhanced CPD, including access to professional networks across the Trust
Paid induction and training suited to the role
Confidential access to an Employee Assistance Programme
Free parking
Use of the Cycle Scheme
Paid completion of a DBS check
Free eye tests (where the employee is desk-based)
Where eligible, automatic enrolment to the relevant pension scheme
Honouring of continuous service earned in the Local Authority
Safeguarding Statement:
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All posts at Amplify Education are subject to pre-employment checks incl, but not limited to, initial and periodic enhanced level checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service.
Applications are welcome from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or religious belief, sex or sexual orientation, gender reassignment, disability or age, and maternity, marital or civil partner status.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
