Join us as a Head of Year at Park Lane Academy!

Every day is a chance to make a real difference! As part of our team, you’ll be supporting individual pupils or small groups, helping them shine and reach their full potential. Whether it’s through tailored teaching strategies, behaviour plans, or Individual Education Plans, you’ll be right there, cheering them on and guiding their progress.

You’ll help all our pupils feel included, confident, and excited to take part in school life—and access the national curriculum in a way that works for them. With your great communication skills and positive energy, you’ll inspire, support, and bring out the very best in every child you work with.

Are you someone who loves working with children, thrives in a team, and wants to be part of something truly meaningful? At Park Lane Academy, we’re on a mission to change lives, and we’re looking for a Head of Year who’s just as passionate as we are!

Why Park Lane?

At Park Lane, we may be a small secondary academy — but that’s exactly what makes us so special. Our size means that every student is truly known, valued, and supported. It creates the family feel we’re so proud of — and it’s one of the first things visitors notice when they walk through our doors.

We believe that strong relationships with students and their families are the foundation for success. From Year 7 to Year 11, we’re here to offer not just an exceptional education, but also genuine care, guidance, and support every step of the way.

We’re proud to serve a diverse and inclusive community, where everyone belongs and every student is encouraged to be their best. At Park Lane, we bring our core values to life every day:

Respect

Ambition

Pride

With the support of our dedicated staff, families, governors, and the wider community, we work together to help our students grow into confident, capable young people ready to take on the world.

Here at Park Lane Academy, your child will be seen, heard, and inspired — in a place where they can truly thrive.

South Pennine Academies, based in West Yorkshire, is a close-knit family of 11 primary and secondary schools across Calderdale, Kirklees, and Oldham — working together to help every child thrive!

What You’ll Bring:

A love for working with children and helping them shine

Great communication skills and a team-player mindset

Flexibility, positivity, and a can-do attitude

A kind and respectful approach that makes you a fantastic role model

A commitment to your own growth as well as the children’s

What You’ll Get in Return:

We believe happy staff = happy students. That’s why we offer:

Wellbeing Support – 24/7 GP line, stress & cancer support, weight management, and more!

Generous Pension Scheme – for your future security.

Flexibility Days – two paid days off during term time for those important life moments.

Free Annual Flu Jab – because we care about your health.

Cycle to Work Scheme – get fit and go green!

Free Will Writing Service – because peace of mind matters.

Personal Development – training and growth opportunities to help your career soar.

Supportive Leadership – you’ll never feel like just a number here.

If you're looking for a fun, fulfilling, and life-changing role, come join our Park Lane family. We can't wait to meet you!

Apply today — and help us grow something amazing.

The closing date is midnight on 11th Jun 2026.
