Year Leader, Full Time, Permanent

June 2023

Dear applicant,

Due to the recent internal promotion of one of our Year Leaders, we now have a new vacancy as a Year Leader at St Nicholas Catholic High School. The contract is to ideally start in September 2023 or January 2024 depending on the availability of the successful candidate. Applications are welcome from any subject areas and from candidates with a faith background or a willingness to be supportive of our Catholic school status. Furthermore, early applications are encouraged as the school reserves the right to close the advert before the specified closing date.

We are an excellent Catholic school with a fantastic reputation for the very highest of standards, outstanding students who are eager to learn and exceptional staff who walk the ‘extra mile’ to ensure that every student in our care lives life and lives it to the full.

We are looking to appoint a Year Leader with a passion and vision for delivering a quality learning experience, in all spheres of school life, for all students in their Year Group. This experience will be underpinned by the Year Leader’s unwavering commitment and belief in every child’s ability to succeed. The successful candidate will join a vibrant, forward thinking, and progressive school which is keen to build upon the many successes within the school’s external inspection reports from both the Diocese and Ofsted.

St Nicholas continues to make significant progress with the continuous development of the curriculum we deliver to our students. The successful candidate will also benefit from teaching in a department which offers comprehensive and robust schemes of learning, incisive planned assessments, and is fully resourced. Coupled with this is an unequivocal commitment to the bespoke professional development of every member of our teaching staff.

If you feel that you have what it takes to deliver our vision, we would be delighted to receive an application from you. Please send your applications either via the TES website or by email to d.poole@st-nicholas.cheshire.sch.uk.

The deadline for applications is 9am on Friday 16 June. Shortlisting and interviews will be confirmed following this date.

I look forward to receiving and reading your application and I thank you for your interest in St Nicholas RC High School.

Our school is committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Please refer to the school’s safeguarding policy on the school website here https://st-nicholas.cheshire.sch.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Child-Protection-Safeguarding-Policy-2022.pdf
