Join a leading school which prides itself on the high quality of education, enrichment and care provided to all and is committed to the wellbeing of students and staff.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, experienced and adaptable Student Achievement Manager to join our established team within a school judged by OFSTED as 'Outstanding' in all areas, a school where both student achievement and attitudes to learning are amongst the best in the region. We are a fantastic

learning community, set in one of Yorkshire's most scenic areas, whose facilities have been further enhanced by the completion of a multi-million pound refurbishment and expansion project.

This is a non-teaching role which could be equally appropriate for a suitably qualified person looking to enter the teaching profession as for someone who is looking to step back from classroom teaching but who wishes to work closely with Post-16 students to lead on supporting their learning and academic development. This role is required as soon as possible.

If you have the ability to lead on engaging and motivating our Post-16 students to enable them to develop outstanding study skills, coupled with the drive and commitment required to be an exceptional member of our team, then we would like to hear from you.
