St Cuthbert&rsquo;s Catholic High School is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, energetic and empathetic full time Head of Year. The successful applicant will blend teaching expertise and experience with pastoral skills and a real delight in nurturing and developing teenagers.

The Head of Year is responsible to the Headmaster as part of the team of five Heads of Year across the 11-16 age range but works most closely on a daily basis with the allocated member of the leadership team as direct line manager. A significant part of the role of Head of Year at St. Cuthbert&rsquo;s is the breadth of experience it provides in all areas of school life.

The fundamental duty of the Head of Year is that he/she sets the tone and style of the Year group, and is expected to create a caring, nurturing and focused atmosphere, providing pastoral care and support as well as maintaining appropriate standards of mutual respect and community awareness along the way. Being &lsquo;present&rsquo; whenever you are on duty is a key feature of success in this role. The successful applicant will demonstrate that he/she genuinely enjoys the company of young people and being part of their adolescent journey to young adulthood. The Year group will be a place of purposeful hard work but also a great deal of fun and laughter. The ideal candidate will be a highly motivated self-starter with a passionate commitment to Catholic Education and the highest quality of pastoral care.

This is an opportunity to lead and shape a year group in an all-boys Catholic School that has enjoyed a reputation as a centre of educational excellence for over one hundred years. We welcome applications from both experienced leaders and outstanding teachers ready for the challenges of a leadership post.
