What skills and experience we're looking for

Applications are invited for the role of Pastoral Leader at King James’s School. You will be responsible for the welfare, progress and discipline of students in a specified year group. You will also provide mentoring for students in order to enhance their learning. Ideally you will have previous experience in a similar role, however applications are welcome from candidates with other relevant experience.

To be successful in this role you will need excellent interpersonal and communication skills as you will work closely with outside agencies, staff, students and parents/carers on a daily basis. You will need to be highly organised and present a professional image at all times.

The hours for this role are defined as 37 hours per week, all year round. In practice, most of the hours will be worked during term time, with all time off taken during periods of school closure. On the whole, you will manage your own diary and your specific working hours will vary due to workload, meetings and events in school.

The school was awarded ‘Good’ in its November 2019 inspection and consistently achieves excellent grades at GCSE.

‘The King James’s Way’ sets out the values and commitments which lie at the centre of everything we do. Though we are proud of our academic success, we are equally proud of our inclusive approach and first class, wraparound pastoral care.

At King James’s School we are proud of our inclusive and supportive working environment. As an organisation that values and nurtures talent, we are committed to helping you fulfil your potential. With a comprehensive training and development programme, tailored to your needs and the requirements of the school, we will enable you to flourish in your role and perform to the very best of your abilities.

King James’s School is a successful and oversubscribed 11-16 comprehensive school (NOR 906), serving a suburban area and a scatter of villages to the east and south of Huddersfield. It is situated approximately 2 miles from the centre of Huddersfield in a semi-rural position overlooking the Farnley Valley.

Our origins go back to the thirteenth century and the school, which has occupied its present site since 1547, became an Academy in 2012.

King James’s is a truly comprehensive school. The annual intake of 180 students, for which we are regularly over-subscribed, has a very broad socio-economic and ethnic mix, closely resembling the wider British society. Our intake comes predominantly from the priority admission area of Lepton, Kirkheaton and Grange Moor, but we also take from outside the area, particularly from Dalton and Almondbury.

‘A lovely, friendly school, full of history and character, offering an excellent learning environment in a wonderful setting’ - Ofsted 2018
