Join Our Team as a Teaching Head of Year at Lift Firth Park!

Are you a dedicated educator with a passion for supporting students both academically and personally? Lift Firth Park is excited to be recruiting 2 Teaching Heads of Year. We believe that great teachers possess a unique ability to connect with students, understand their individual needs, and inspire their growth. We're looking to harness these skills to deliver exceptional teaching and provide outstanding pastoral care to our students.

This is an incredible opportunity for ambitious educators who are eager to grow professionally and make a meaningful impact. As Lift Firth Park enters an exciting phase of transformation, we are searching for dynamic individuals with the vision, determination, and passion to help shape the future of our school.

At Lift Firth Park, we are dedicated to providing an excellent education for every child, in every classroom, every day.
