**Information**

We are seeking to appoint a Head of English to join our Extended Leadership Team at Unity College. This is an opportunity for an excellent teacher who is looking to further develop their leadership skills, and have a significant impact on whole-school policy and practice.

Our primary focus is, and will always be, developing a superb curriculum across all areas of the College. Curriculum and pedagogy underpin all we do and all staff at Unity College are committed to their own learning as well as their teaching.

Ultimately, the Head of Department sets the climate and culture for their department and how students act from the moment they enter classrooms in the department is shaped by the expectations and actions of that person. This isn’t always easy but the impact that one person can have on hundreds of young people’s lives is huge.

Working at Unity College is tremendously rewarding and this role is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to young people’s lives as well as offering abundant prospects for professional development. As a College we are firmly committed to continuous professional development for all and we invest heavily in developing our staff at all levels.

Unity College is a co-educational, 11-16 college. By September 2025, we will be the largest 11-16 secondary school in Lancashire, with 1500 students on roll.

Lancashire County Council has a Policy Statement on the Recruitment of Ex-offenders this is available to all applicants upon request.
