About the job

Thank you for your interest in our recent advertisement for the above position at University of Lincoln Academy Trust, University Academy Long Sutton.

I have pleasure in enclosing details of an exciting opportunity for a self-motivated and passionate candidate to join University Academy Long Sutton as Year Leader. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual looking to develop their career and take the next step in their professional journey. The Trust is committed to supporting professional growth, providing opportunities to build skills and experience, and develop leadership capacity.

The successful candidate will work within the Pastoral Team, managing the behaviour, welfare and academic achievement of pupils within a designated year group. Working closely with pupils, parents, carers and staff, the post holder will remove barriers to learning and progress, while leading a team of tutors to promote high standards of behaviour, attitude and learning culture.

Regularly analysing data to inform proactive and reactive interventions, mentoring and pastoral support, the successful candidate will help foster a strong ethos of learning and develop a culture of support and care where every child can blossom and make rapid progress.

This is a full-time, non-teaching role, providing the successful post-holder with the opportunity to work closely with pupils without a teaching responsibility. For candidates travelling from further afield, support with travel arrangements may also be available to help make this opportunity accessible.

Early applications are encouraged. We reserve the right to interview and appoint prior to the closing date of the advertisement, should we identify an appropriate candidate.
