ultimate accountability for the Year Group. They are supported by a Deputy Head
of Year and expert pastoral teams: Student Support (including Mental Wellbeing
Workers and an Early Help Co-ordinator); Inclusion; SEND and Attendance.
The
successful candidate will have experience of working successfully with young
people and their families. They will be aware of some of the challenges facing
young people yet hold the highest aspirations for Unity College students. They
will also be committed to and use strategies that will ensure that all students
are given the very best opportunities to be successful in all areas of their
lives. We are looking for a Deputy Head
of Year with experience of working with young people to secure excellent outcomes,
who are able to develop and sustain strong relationships and routines and who
will inspire students to engage widely across the College. Above all, Deputy
Heads of Year will model and maintain the highest of standards at all times.

College’s very high expectations
