Deputy Head of KS4 (non-teaching) Thank you for your interest in the role of Deputy Head of Key Stage 4 at Greyfriars Catholic School, part of The Pope Francis Multi Academy Company (PFMAC) within the Archdiocese of Birmingham. We are seeking an exceptional individual to join our pastoral leadership team at an exciting point in the school's development. This is a role for someone who believes that relationships matter, that education changes lives and that every student deserves to be known, challenged and supported to achieve their very best. As a Catholic school, our mission is to champion every student so that they can flourish individually and collectively. We know that students thrive when they feel safe, valued and understood, and this role is central to making that vision a reality for our Key Stage 4 students. The Deputy Head of Key Stage 4 will play a pivotal role in ensuring that students are able to engage successfully with their education by leading on behaviour, safeguarding, family engagement and operational pastoral support. Working closely with the Head of Key Stage 4 and senior leaders, the successful candidate will provide calm, visible and proactive leadership, ensuring that barriers to learning are identified early and addressed effectively. This is much more than an administrative role. It is an opportunity to build meaningful relationships with young people and their families, working alongside colleagues and external agencies to ensure that students attend well, behave well and feel that they belong. Every conversation has the potential to change the trajectory of a young person's life. We are looking for someone who combines warmth with high expectations, who is highly organised and resilient, and who understands the importance of working collaboratively with families and professionals to secure the very best outcomes for students. At Greyfriars, we are ambitious for our young people and for our staff. As a growing school, there are significant opportunities to shape systems, contribute to school improvement and develop professionally within a supportive and values-driven community. If you share our belief that working hard and being kind changes lives, and you are passionate about ensuring that every student is able to flourish, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to seek further information.
