Pastoral Leader Year 7 and 8 (Phase One)

Trinity Academy is a highly oversubscribed free school that opened in 2019. We are a values based community that focuses on the learning of all students and staff, that cares deeply for our young people and each other and that is committed to co-curricular enrichment. We believe that pastoral learning is as important as academic learning and a key to unlocking the potential of young people. Our stated goal is to be a +1 school for progress and, as such, we are looking for a highly motivated, professional and well qualified pastoral leader to join us in realising our mission.

The Phase One leader oversees the student journey from admission in Year 6 to the end of Year 8, working with and through a team of dedicated and extremely hardworking pastoral support leaders. This is a unique opportunity to join a team that is establishing a new school entering our third year and to substantially contribute to its ongoing success.

The post has a 50% teaching timetable for which we will consider any subject specialism.

We are committed to your professional development as both leader and teacher. As a growing school there is considerable opportunity for career development both within the school and across the Cathedral Schools Trust.

Applications are welcome from outstanding teachers with a track record of high impact, both in their classroom practice and their experience of pastoral leadership and care.

Cathedral Schools Trust recognises the strength in diversity. Our schools have a wide range of cultural, socio economic and religious influences and we use this to ensure that we broaden our understanding of each other and the world.  We welcome applications of all backgrounds but particularly welcome those from BAME backgrounds as we recognise that our staff team does not currently reflect the diversity of our student body.
