Are you looking for an exciting challenge in a new environment working with a team who are committed to changing the lives of young people? If so, we have an opportunity for an enthusiastic and adaptable individual to join us as Assistant Head of Y9. You will need high levels of personal and professional commitment and the ability to work successfully as part of a team is essential.

You will support the Head of Year to nurture and develop the well-being of all learners in Y9 as well as being responsible for the progress and emotional and social development of a group of mentees. You will need to understand learners’ barriers and strategies to ensure they are best supported to grow in confidence and achieve results which secure their next steps.

The JCB Academy is innovative, unique and unlike any other school, developing business leaders and engineers from Y9 to Sixth Form and providing Intermediate (level 2) and Advanced (level 3) apprenticeship programmes. From this academic year we are delivering an Engineering T-level which will provide learners with an additional qualification choice after their GCSEs.

We offer learners a unique curriculum developed by the academy and its core partners. Working with the likes of Bosch Rexroth, Harper Adams University, JCB, Rolls‑Royce and Toyota Motor Manufacturing, we ensure that the curriculum is embedded in real industrial practice and includes genuine industrial challenges. Our aim is to provide a world class experience to learners and staff.
