Year Leader (non-teaching)

We are seeking to appoint a non-teaching Year Leader who is conscientious, determined and committed to ensuring the highest possible outcomes for all students.

In this role, the post-holder will be responsible for the day-to-day leadership of a specific year group and will be an expert on the students in that cohort.  You will be the first point of contact on attendance, behaviour, and achievement.  You will then liaise with the appropriate colleagues in the school to ensure that all students are well supported. The role is varied and you will be expected to work closely with staff at all levels in both teaching and support roles as well as with parents/carers.  You will liaise and work closely with the Assistant Headteacher and the Pastoral Leader to achieve high standards.

The successful candidate will be able to:

• Communicate effectively, and build trust, with all learners and be able to speak to large groups of students, for example whole classes and year group assemblies.
• Communicate effectively with parents and external agencies.
• Analyse school data (achievement / behaviour / attendance) in detail in order to identify key priorities.
• Liaise with other colleagues to share information and data and ensure that appropriate action planning is put in place.
• Manage a large and varied workload and maintain positivity when faced with challenges.

Above all else you will be expected to build a culture of Opportunity, Equality, Inclusion and Achievement to ensure that all students strive towards being the best they can be.
