Head of Sixth Form

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and experienced individual who will be responsible for the day to day running of our outstanding sixth form provision. This is a permanent, full time, non-teaching position.

Applicants will be highly motivated and have a passion to ensure that our learners achieve the very best that they can at all times. The core purpose of the role will be to uphold the fundamental standards of Pride, Respect and Achievement with all learners but also ensure that all students receive the highest standard of bespoke support.

In this role, you will be the first point of contact on attendance, behaviour, and above all achievement. You will then liaise with the appropriate colleagues in the school to ensure that all students are adequately supported and challenged. The successful candidate will be able to:

• Communicate effectively, and build trust, with all learners and be able to speak to large groups of students, for example whole classes and year group assemblies
• Communicate effectively with parents and external agencies
• Analyse school data (achievement/behaviour/attendance) in detail in order to identify key priorities
• Liaise with other colleagues to share information and data and ensure that appropriate action planning is put in place
• Manage a large and varied workload and maintain positivity when faced with challenges

Burnside College is a good school, with outstanding sixth form provision. We put teaching and learning first and are committed to providing a high quality and inclusive learning experience for all. Furthermore, we are committed to the development of staff and you will be joining a supportive school with an excellent environment in which to continue your professional development.
