Head of Department – Professional & Academic Studies
Lead the Future of Our New Westmorland Campus
This is more than a management role — it’s a chance to bring a brand-new campus to life. As our Head of Professional & Academic Studies, you’ll play a defining part in shaping the next phase of Westmorland Campus: its identity, its culture, and the impact it will have for years to come.
You’ll lead a committed team of specialists across A Levels and professional studies, creating the conditions where both staff and students thrive. We’re looking for a leader with vision, energy, patience, humour and that vital spark — someone who knows how to inspire and isn’t afraid to innovate.
Your leadership will set the tone:
• Raise standards and drive exceptional student progress and outcomes
• Ensure sustainability and champion both financial and environmental responsibility
• Provide strong operational oversight and deliver SLT-approved policies with confidence
• Shape a forward-thinking curriculum that responds boldly to local and national needs
• Embed a culture of continuous improvement and professional growth
• Safeguard and advocate for the wellbeing of every learner and vulnerable adult
