Deputy Head of Year

Millthorpe School is looking to recruit a Deputy Head of Year to start as soon as possible to provide maternity cover. This is an exciting opportunity to join our highly successful and inclusive pastoral team.

You will assist the Head of Year with the leadership of the assigned year group, and provide the full range of pastoral support to students within the year. You will support behaviour, attendance and both personal and academic development of young people, helping drive up standards and supporting all students to become the best that they can be.

You will have experience of working with young people, in particular those with behavioural or emotional difficulties, but this does not necessarily have to be within a school setting. You will be committed to supporting all students, and have the ability to develop highly effective, professional relationships with them in order that they can thrive at school.

This is a term time only maternity cover position for 37 hours per week.

Interviews will be held during the week commencing 29 April 2024.

Millthorpe is a popular and successful school rooted in its community close to the heart of the historic city of York. You will be joining a warm, inclusive and motivated team of over 100 colleagues. In addition, the Trust offers a range of staff benefits, including enrolment in the excellent Local Government Pension Scheme, 24/7 access to an employee assistance programme and a range of family friendly policies.

Further information about the school can be found on the school website: https://millthorpeschool.co.uk/
