Head of House – Teaching

Start Date Sept 2024

Salary – Negotiable within MPS/UPS Pay Scale

Relocation package also available

Heads of House hold key positions within the pastoral system at our Academy. We believe it is extremely important to ensure our students are supported pastorally as well as academically. Several schools have a House system underpinning their pastoral care, but very few have as many as six Houses, a dedicated Head of Year 11 and also a dedicated Head of 6th Form. We believe that a good education depends crucially on the relationships between staff, students and parents/carers.

Our Houses are named after lighthouses along the south coast and are small enough that the Heads of House, each of whom is only on a 50% timetable, have the time to really get to know students and their families and build those important relationships. The Heads of House articulate the Academy's vision to develop citizens who ASPIRE: Ambitious, Self-Confident, Physically Literate, Independent Learners, Resilient and Emotionally Literate.

The key indicator of success in this role is to secure the highest levels of achievement possible for students through challenge and support. You must be passionate about wanting to make a difference for the students in our care.

This post is a permanent, full-time, post.
