Summary
Thank you for your interest in this post at WQE.We believe that this is a particularly exciting time to be joining us, offering a real opportunity to make a difference in this thriving and vibrant Sixth Form College. We strive for excellence in all aspects of our work with students; their academic and wider achievements, their learning experiences, the support they receive in their academic progress, their learning environment and their wider experience of College life. The College operates across two closely located campuses, next to the University of Leicester on University Road and a smaller campus at Regent Road.
We are seeking to appoint a well qualified, self motivated and enthusiastic Deputy Head of Studies (DHOS) to join our pastoral leadership team building on previous work in supporting students’ learning experiences, progress and development.
The College operates across two campuses on University Road and Regent Road which are a 12 minute walk / 5 minute drive apart. While the post will be primarily based at one site, the role will involve cross college collaboration and therefore regular movement between sites.
The successful candidate will work closely with one of our Heads of Studies, whilst also collaborating with the wider pastoral team of Heads and Deputy Heads of Studies. You will support the effective leadership and coordination of systems and processes that monitor academic progress and ensure high quality pastoral support for all students.
You will also assist the Heads of Studies in the management and support of Personal Progress Mentors ensuring that students receive timely, appropriate and effective guidance throughout their time at the College. In addition, you will be a key point of contact for student management issues during the college day, working closely with the other Deputy Heads of Studies to maintain a positive and supportive learning environment.
For our part we shall make every effort to support our new colleagues in making the best of the professional opportunities offered by this post.
This is a full-time term-time, permanent post commencing as soon as possible.
