This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual looking to develop their career and take the next step in their professional journey. The Trust is committed to supporting professional growth, providing opportunities to build skills and experience, and develop leadership capacity.

The successful candidate will work within the Pastoral Team, managing the behaviour, welfare and academic achievement of pupils within a designated year group. Working closely with pupils, parents, carers and staff, the post holder will remove barriers to learning and progress, while leading a team of tutors to promote high standards of behaviour, attitude and learning culture.
