This is a 12 month fixed term, full-time position commencing Term 1, 2025 with possible extension and/or permanency.
Sevenoaks is a unique senior college which offers specialised pathways to Year 11 and 12 students. We were established in 2000 and continue to build on our foundation ethos to provide pathways for students as they explore their future in our young adult learning environment. We are one of two such colleges in the metropolitan area.
Our Young Adult Ethos gives students responsibility for their learning and individual pathway planning whilst it prepares them to participate positively in their communities. To achieve this, all students are supported by an advocate who supports them to plan for their future as they progress through year 11 and 12. They are supported by a whole College ethos that is culturally responsive, respectful, and which values diversity.
