Description
Heads of Year are a really important part of our college leadership structure. These are new posts. We have recently made the decision to move from a 'vertical' house-based structure to a 'horizontal' year-based structure. Years 7 to 11 have a Head of Year, who is a member of teaching staff. The Head of Year holds ultimate accountability for the Year Group.

They are supported in this by a non-teaching Deputy Head of Year and expert pastoral teams: Student Support (including Mental Wellbeing Workers and an Early Help Co-ordinator); Inclusion; SEND and Attendance.

Heads of Year line manage a team of 12 tutors and are line managed by a member of the Senior Leadership Team, with whom they will meet regularly for support and guidance.


The Heads of Year will work with the Senior Leadership Team to create and deliver a shared vision for the personal development, behaviour and attitudes, wellbeing and safeguarding of all members of the College community.

The Heads of Year are some of the most senior leaders of the College and, as such, play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Unity College.


Working at Unity College is tremendously rewarding and this role is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to young people's lives as well as offering abundant prospects for professional development.

As a College we are firmly committed to continuous professional development for all and we invest heavily in developing our staff at all levels.


We offer:

- the opportunity to be integral to College improvement
- well-considered professional development and a wide range of professional opportunities, including significant leadership development opportunities
- excellent career progression opportunities
- a high level of support for all new staff
- an exciting and stimulating place to work in a friendly environment
- a modern, purpose-built building and excellent facilities


You will:

- share the College's very high expectations
- be an excellent classroom practitioner
- be committed to working collaboratively with colleagues, students and parents
- be confident in your ability to support and develop colleagues
- be enthusiastic about giving young people the best possible start in life
