Job overview
Health Futures is pleased to offer this post of Head of Learning Company. You will work to the KS5 Progress Leader and Line Manager within the Senior Leadership Team in providing leadership and management of the achievement, progress and pastoral provision for a Learning Company of students.
This role is the equivalent of up to 210 days per year (slightly more than term time only) not whole year. This is a full time role and the hours worked may require you to be flexible within a normal overall envelope of 8:00am to 5:30pm, if you have constraints on the times that you can be available please indicate this clearly in your application.
You will lead by example in all areas of the pastoral curriculum and monitor the standards of achievement, attendance, behaviour and welfare within your Learning Company. You will take responsibility for the pastoral care of students in the Learning Company and liaise closely with other Learning Company Leaders to ensure continuity and progression across the Key stages 4 and 5. You will have the opportunity to develop your skills and experience while working with us so that your career can grow as we do.
Our state of the art facilities and technology will ensure you can engage with all stakeholders effectively and efficiently while also supporting the rest of the school community to do the same.
Established with the backing of the University of Wolverhampton and in partnership with a wide range of health sector employer partners, including all West Midlands NHS Trusts, WM Ambulance Service and the Mid-counties Co-operative Pharmacy, Health Futures is responding to the identified skills gap that is preventing local young people taking up the varied and valuable career paths in this sector.

Values and vision
The curriculum at Health Futures UTC focuses on healthcare and science but strongly embraces English, Maths and Science and requires students to study these subjects. These subjects are combined with practical and technical qualifications to ensure transferable learning into the world of work and further education. Students also have the opportunity to develop business, technology, enterprise, financial and management skills.
Health Futures UTC believes that children flourish when encouraged to explore and express the wide range of ideas and possibilities that occur to young minds. It believes they are known to especially benefit from creative learning and collaborative working at a young age. The UTC approach to education reflects these philosophies and taps into the imagination and inventiveness often found in younger learners.
