Ladybridge High School is a warm, friendly and successful school with a clear mission and agreed beliefs that are shared across the school community. We are focused on achieving strong academic outcomes through a rounded education that prepares our learners for life. We are committed to our ‘Trivium’ approach to education.

The wonderfully diverse population of learners, the emphasis on professional learning for staff and the friendly atmosphere make Ladybridge an interesting and enjoyable place to work. We strongly believe in allowing our staff to carry out their role to a high standard, whilst having a genuine work life balance, which is why our full-time pastoral staff have the option of a compressed working pattern that offers a ‘flexi afternoon’ once a fortnight, free to leave school site at lunchtime – an option available for this post.

We are seeking to appoint an associate staff Head of Family. The successful candidate will be responsible for up to 200 learners in eight mixed age form groups. The role involves supporting and challenging learners to help them develop their personal qualities, improve their wellbeing and prepare them for life.

Ladybridge High School is committed to safer recruitment practice and pre‑employment checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed. This post is subject to enhanced clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
