Progress Leader

Are you ready to transform lives?

At York High School, we believe every student has the potential to achieve greatness, and as our new Progress Leader, you will be at the heart of that journey. This is more than just a pastoral role; it is a chance to play a key role in supporting a cohort of young people to become the best versions of themselves. You will ensure that every student in your care has the support they need to thrive, both academically and personally. You will be joining a team where your drive and determination will directly shape the future of our community.

You will have significant pastoral experience and the ability to inspire, motivate and challenge young people through the delivery of a range of interventions and by building strong relationships with students, parents, colleagues and external agencies. You will be absolutely committed to making a difference and transforming the life chances of our students.

We would love to welcome you to our school so you can see our commitment in action. We strongly encourage prospective candidates to visit and experience the York High School environment first hand. To arrange your visit, please contact Dawn Becton at d.becton@yorkhigh.elt.org.uk.
