Summary

Head of Year

Ashton Community Science College is a Good School. (Ofsted 2023)

The Governors wish to appoint a committed, enthusiastic and well-qualified pastoral leader to support the progress and welfare of a cohort of students.

Ashton Community Science College is an 11-16 mixed school with over 850 pupils on roll and was rated as Good by Ofsted in the last inspection in 2023.

Our pastoral model is one where heads of year stay with their year group for a 4-year rolling cycle, from year 8 through to year 11. This vacancy arises due to the retirement of our current year 9 head of year, so the successful applicant would commence with year 10.

Our goal is to offer outstanding provision. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, well qualified, pastoral member of staff, who is committed to raising standards and inspiring learners. If you believe that young people deserve nothing less than the best and have the passion, drive and ambition to make a difference as a role model and leader to them, you would be a welcome addition to our school family.

The successful candidate will have:

A passion for supporting and managing young people that goes beyond mere qualifications
Previous experience of working with secondary age children in Education, Health or social services
Experience of working with families/carers and students accessing available support services
Knowledge of school procedures, practices and techniques for mentoring students
Experience of dealing with emotional situations where students may become distressed
An absolute commitment to achieving the highest of standards

If you are interested in becoming part of our team and helping us to continue our drive for further success, then we would be pleased to hear from you. A full programme of support is available as part of our commitment to investing in high quality staff.

ACSC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful applicant will be required to provide a disclosure from Disclosure Barring Service before any appointment is confirmed. On-line searches will be carried out for short-listed candidates.
