Head of House (Pastoral Leader) job summary
Thank you for your interest in this key post as a permanent full time Head of House (Pastoral Leader) which is available from 1 September 2022. We are advertising because the current post holder is retiring after leading the House successfully for many years, and leaves a great foundation for the successful candidate to build on.
The House system creates smaller ‘units of belonging’ in our large school. The system is highly regarded by parents/carers, students and staff. Each Head of House has the freedom to create their own House identity through assemblies, guidance on tutor worship and House Council activities.
The Head of House will have a key role to play in maintaining and developing our outstanding pastoral system and monitoring students’ academic progress and student mentoring. We are looking for someone with the capacity to promote and develop the school’s distinctive Christian ethos, and to lead a team of tutors and create a sense of ‘belonging’ to the House. Franklin House is one of our mixed age Y8 - Y11 Houses. Our House names reflect the diversity in our school. They are named after influential individuals, all of whom lived out our school ALIVE values. They overcame adversity and had an impact on the world. Rosalind Franklin was a British chemist, who played a crucial role in the discovery of the nature of DNA. At the time, Franklin received no recognition for her work in this field. She went on to do some excellent research on viruses and polio.
The post is well supported with administrative help, a Deputy Head of House and an excellent team of tutors. The member of the leadership team who is linked to the House is based on the same floor as the House office. The Deputy Headteacher (Behaviour for Learning) regularly meets with Heads of House and with wider pastoral staff to share ideas, support, and practical organisation.
We seek to appoint a talented teacher and dynamic pastoral leader. We would expect candidates to be able to teach across all the key stages. We are currently not able to accommodate teachers of PE, Art or Music, but can accommodate a wide range of other teaching subjects. We would appreciate some flexibility initially. Please complete our Teaching Experience form to indicate which subjects you are able to teach, and at what key stages.

Commitment to safeguarding
St Mary Redcliffe and Temple School is committed to protecting our students and ensuring their safety and wellbeing, not just whilst at school but also in the wider community. We believe that as a community, looking after each other is everyone’s responsibility. The School community should respect each other and understand, accept, and celebrate each other’s differences (gender, race, age, religion, sexuality or disability) so that the care, happiness, and safety of every single person is the concern of us all.
We achieve this through our empowered learning curriculum and good relationships work through our pastoral system.

Despite this there is absolutely no sense of complacency. We are a forward-looking school with a relentless focus on providing the absolute best provision so that no child is left behind.
We are passionate about providing opportunity for all staff to develop. Staff are encouraged to develop leadership roles, including working with, and helping to improve, other local schools. All leaders contribute extremely well to improving teaching and learning The school invests heavily and productively in ensuring that staff and leaders have every opportunity to develop their expertise for the benefit of students. Professional development for staff is extremely well planned and implemented; it is linked closely to teachers’ targets for improvement.
