At Haughton Academy, we expect and maintain high standards for all. This is to ensure that all students strive for excellence with the support of our dedicated team of staff. The successful candidate will work alongside and compliment an existing and established team of dedicated pastoral leaders who work cohesively to give all our learners, regardless of starting point or need, the best chance in life to succeed. If you believe that you are ready to lead practice that will change lives and if you are ready to shape positive behaviour and culture support across an organisation that truly lives its values, we’d love to hear from you. For an informal and/or confidential conversation, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you. This role is offered on an annualised hours contract. Working hours are 8:15am–5:15pm Monday to Thursday, including an unpaid 45-minute lunch break, and 8:15am–5:00pm on Fridays with an unpaid 30-minute lunch break. The post is Term Time Only, with total annual hours equivalent to 1.0 FTE. Approximately 2.5 additional days, will be flexibly allocated across the year for CPD and professional development activities.

The Head of Year will work with our newly appointed Deputy Headteacher and current Principal (since September 2025) to support our students through maintaining the highest standards of pastoral care, through supporting all elements of culture and conduct, including behaviour, safeguarding and attendance.
