About the role:

We are seeking to appoint a year manager to our pastoral team to oversee our new year 7 cohort in September, with a view to the successful candidate taking this group of students through the school until they leave at the end of year 11. As this will involve a new group of students, it is a perfect time to start this role. Being a year manager is an extremely rewarding job, taking responsibility for a cohort, getting to know them and liaising with parents and carers. You will be heavily involved in all aspects of the children’s lives, whether this is academic progress, attendance, punctuality or behaviour. Each year group has their own year manager, so you will be well supported by the rest of the team on an ongoing basis, but also as part of your induction. This is a support staff position, so it doesn’t involve teaching and doesn’t require teaching qualifications. Please take some time to have a read of the detailed job description and person specification to further understand the role.

Hathershaw College

The Hathershaw College is a very successful and oversubscribed 11-16 Academy within the Pinnacle

Learning Trust. We are a good school with a group of very talented teachers and staff who set high standards and expectations for our children. We have a strong training and CPD programme (supported by The Pinnacle Learning Trust Research School), which offers opportunities to develop your skills.

We are inclusive and celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of everyone within the College. We care about our young people, with our first priority always being to make sure they are happy and safe so that they are able to learn.

Our 2021 Ofsted report recognises the school as a “happy place to learn”, and that pupils enjoy coming to school and “behave sensibly around the school and in lessons. They are respectful to other pupils, staff and visitors”. It also acknowledges the work we have done to support staff wellbeing, stating: “Staff value the steps that leaders have taken to ease their workload and support their well-being.” In our annual staff survey, colleagues valued the communication from leaders, in particular how often leaders consult with staff before making decisions that affect them, where the positive response rate was 11% above national benchmark.

Our colleagues underpin our mission and values, sharing high expectations and collaborative opportunities through supportive networks. We care about each other and the real difference we can make to students’ futures, and we want to recruit staff who share our vision.

We are well located with good public transport links and excellent access to the motorway network.

Proud member of The Pinnacle Learning Trust

We are a locally focused, cross-phase Trust, with a rigorous culture of high aspirations and strong academic performance that will improve the life chances of our young people through an understanding of the communities we serve. Our academies provide high quality inclusive education and an ethos whereby our children and young people learn by example and grow morally and socially.

Our vision for our workforce is one in which diverse, dedicated, skilled and high-performing staff are operating in a healthy and inclusive work environment; enabling everyone to feel valued, respected and encouraged in order to contribute their best to support us in achieving our mission.

Our Trust invests in each member of staff, offering them professional development opportunities, as well as the opportunity to contribute to the development of others via our Research School. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

We are delighted to be recognised by Edurio for a Trust Value Award in 2024, and have been shortlisted for the 2025 MAT Excellence Award for Wellbeing Trust of the Year. We offer various health and wellbeing benefits, including an Employee Assistance programme offering counselling, GP and nurse services, physiotherapy, etc.
