We would like to appoint a Non-Teaching Head of Year (Progress Leader) who is conscientious, determined and committed to ensuring the highest possible outcomes for all students.

In this role, the postholder will be responsible for the day to day leadership of a specific year groupand will be an expert on the pupils in that cohort. You will be the first point of contact for attendance, behaviour, welfare and achievement and will liaise with the appropriate colleagues in school and external agencies to ensure that all students are adequately supported and challenged.

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

The postholder will be assigned to a year group based on expertise, experience and school need. The year group may not stay fixed and the deployment of Progress Leaders will be reviewed annually.

It is anticipated that the successful candidate will structure their working day so they are highly visible to students when not in lessons e.g. student break and lunchtime. Additionally, they will be flexible in terms of working pattern to allow them to attend key events in the school calendar that take place outside of the school day e.g. parents evening, results days and performances.

Progress Leaders are employed on a 52/52 contract to reflect the additional hours they are required to work during term time and as such, the requirement to work during school holidays is limited.

Burnside College is a good school, with outstanding sixth form provision. We put teaching and learning first and are committed to providing a high quality and inclusive learning experience for all. Furthermore, we are committed to the development of staff and you will be joining a supportive school with an excellent environment in which to continue your professional development.
