Head of Year

Come join our thriving 2-19 all-through college on its journey towards excellence!

Our two form entry primary phase opened in September 2019 and we have now completed our brand new state-of-the-art development on the secondary site. New facilities include a three-storey teaching block containing 22 classrooms and SEND hub, and a floodlit all weather sports pitch to complement our already extensive sporting facilities. 

The college is seeking to appoint a passionate, dynamic Head of Year for our secondary phase. The successful candidate will be an excellent teacher and pastoral leader. The ability to teach a core subject would be desirable but is not essential.

This is a superb opportunity to become part of a fabulous team of staff who are dedicated to ensuring we motivate and support all students through an engaging curriculum which enables them to succeed. We have a strong pastoral system at the College and a dedicated team of pastoral staff who will work alongside you. Candidates should be self-motivated and have the drive to work in an exciting and innovative environment and should be ready to contribute to the development of the college. 

As a valued member of our team at Hailsham Community College Academy Trust we can offer you:  

·        A commitment to your continued professional development at whatever career stage you’re at 

·        A school committed to consistency of student experience and sustained improvement 

·        An ambitious team of staff who are committed to facilitating the best life chances for our students 

·        An experienced and highly supportive Senior Leadership Team / Middle Leadership Team and pastoral team

·        A real passion for engaging learners of all abilities
