The Priory Learning Trust is looking to recruit a Teaching Head of Year to work at our Priory Community School – An Academy. This is a very exciting opportunity for an individual who would relish the chance to join us.

Lead a team of tutors in the delivery of the school’s pastoral provision and academic monitoring programme, ensuring high quality learning experiences within the tutorial programme and high quality support to students.
Support the oversight of Student Voice and Student Leadership within your year group.
The successful candidates will have:

A Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Relevant teaching experience in KS3 and KS4.
An understanding of pastoral needs of students.
