Job overview
THE ROLE
We are seeking to appoint a Head of Year to the existing support staff team. The successful candidate will lead and manage a year group, support and challenge students to continually improve in all aspects of daily school life, and work as part of a dedicated and successful existing Head of Year team. This support staff position plays a vital role in enabling students to work hard, to conduct themselves exceptionally well and to have the very highest ambitions for themselves.
Experience working with students, families and pastoral school staff is an advantage; however, the most important attributes are energy, tenacity, a positive approach and a belief that every child at the academy has the ability to succeed.
WHO WE ARE
The Laureate Academy is a flourishing mixed, non-selective secondary school and sixth form based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, admitting students from the ages of 11 to 18.
We are developing an academic culture at Laureate Academy where the highest standards are expected of staff and students. It is a dynamic school, where students and staff are exceptionally well supported.
We are part of Future Academies, a Multi-Academy Trust which includes three primary schools and six secondary schools in and around London and Hertfordshire. We are motivated by a mission of social change and reducing educational inequality. Our school and Trust are unique in our approach to a knowledge-rich curriculum; our school motto is Libertas per cultum (Freedom through education), and in our strong emphasis on raising young people’s aspirations and outcomes through the teaching of classical and traditional subjects. Our children and young people study a bespoke curriculum developed by researchers at our Curriculum Centre, which places a focus on developing their cultural literacy and their awareness of the forces, words and events that have shaped our society today.
THE BENEFITS
- The chance to make a difference to children’s and young people’s lives. Future Academies is of the belief that all children have the right to enriching education through a knowledge-rich and child-centric approach: our staff can therefore make a dramatic impact on the lives of these children.
- Fast career progression. Because knowledge and intelligence, rather than length of service, are lauded and rewarded at Future Academies, teachers and support staff can quickly take up great responsibility, adding to their already exceptional experience and knowledge, joining the SLT or writing for the Trust’s Curriculum Centre, where our in-house textbooks are produced.
- Excellent CPD. The Trust is knowledge-centric and encourages CPD at all levels with excellent opportunities for swift career progression, within the Academy and Trust. This includes Leadership Development opportunities.
- Knowledge-rich staff team. You will be working with a supportive leadership team, cohesive staff body, and very purposeful environment with excellent resources. Being part of a Trust of schools enables you to share knowledge across a wider range of educational professionals.
- Additional benefits. We also offer a range of employee benefits including Perkbox and the Cycle to Work scheme. Our location is well served by public transport and we have free on-site car parking.
