Head of Year in Bury

Choice Teachers are recruiting an experienced Head of Year for a welcoming secondary school in Radcliffe.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships with young people and making a difference to their school experience. You’ll lead pastoral support for a year group, helping pupils improve their attendance, behaviour, wellbeing and progress.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting pupils with pastoral concerns and barriers to learning

• Monitoring attendance, punctuality and behaviour

• Working with parents, carers and staff to put effective support plans in place

• Supporting pupils returning to school after absence or exclusion

• Keeping accurate records and sharing updates with senior leaders

• Coordinating interventions and supporting the wider year team

• Providing some pupil supervision or lesson cover when required

To be considered, you’ll need previous Head of Year or similar pastoral leadership experience in a school. You should be confident managing challenging situations, communicating with families and following safeguarding procedures.

To register with Choice Teachers, you’ll need an up-to-date CV covering your employment history, the right to work in the UK, two professional references and an Enhanced DBS for working with children on the Update Service, or willingness to apply for one. A new DBS application costs £53.50.
