SGS Academy Trust and Berkeley Green UTC have an exciting opportunity for a Cover and Intervention Teacher.
Are you committed to helping young people fulfil their aspirations? Do you want to join a team with a shared vision for the future and a belief in the value of high-quality technical education? We are looking for a teacher who is flexible, good at building relationships and understands how best to motivate young people.
This role comprises two elements:
The first is working with small intervention groups, or as part of a teaching team, to help fill gaps in students’ learning and key skills. For this reason, an ability to teach Maths, English or Science at key stage 4 would be an advantage, though not essential.
The second is acting as a cover teacher in the case of staff absence or to enable staff development. We believe that when a teacher is absent, students still deserve high-quality, directed lessons which allow them to sustain their progress. This role is therefore central to our ethos of providing a high-quality education for all.
The UTC is still small but growing, with around 300 students on roll from September 2020. For the right candidate, this will provide a fantastic opportunity to have a role at the heart of a school, to get to know every student and every member of staff, and to make a real difference to outcomes for young people.
We require a colleague who has:
A genuine enthusiasm for teaching and learning and the ability to link learning to the real world;
A proven level of excellence in the classroom at KS4 or an NQT with significant potential;
Excellent interpersonal skills and a desire to build positive relationships with students;
High professional standards and a ‘can-do’ attitude;
A willingness to contribute to all aspects of UTC life.
SGS Berkeley Green UTC opened in September 2017 with outstanding facilities, in a state-of-the-art building. We provide specialist, high quality technical and academic education for 14-19 students with a strong interest in Engineering and Digital Technologies including Cyber Security. Although we are a specialist centre, the core subjects are very much the foundations on which all else rests. Developing learners who are confident, fluent and creative is a priority for us. As the first University Technical College (UTC) in Gloucestershire, Berkeley Green aspires to combine outstanding academic and technical education.
South Gloucestershire and Stroud College sponsor SGS Berkeley Green UTC as part of their Multi-Academy Trust, and their size and range of expertise forms the basis of the support for schools within the Trust.

Values and Vision
SGS Berkeley Green UTC plans for excellence in the delivery of its curriculum and has high expectations of academic results ending up in the top quartile when compared to other UTCs and schools.
The school believes combining an environment of school life and the broader vocational opportunities of college education provides the best of both worlds for students. The school aspires to offer teaching by experienced teachers in a high quality learning environment that benefits from the close involvement of employers. It is hoped that this will ensure the college has more in common with a professional workplace setting, ideally setting students up for their chosen career.
The aim of the UTC is to make students more attractive to employers by allowing valuable interaction between the two, and by teaching relevant practical skills by holding workshops and work experience projects. The school will specialise in digital technology, advanced manufacturing and cyber security.
Our Students
An outstanding school provides a first class academic education. A great college must deliver excellent technical skills and meaningful links with employers and academic partners. At SGS Berkeley Green University Technical College, we provide the best of both worlds, setting our students on the path to a great career in digital technologies or engineering.
Our students are at the centre of everything we do at Berkeley Green UTC and we will support them through every step. From transition from their current school through their qualifications to securing their university place, apprenticeship or first taste of employment.
Berkeley Green UTC is committed to preparing all students for the world of work, not only by developing the knowledge, skills and understanding required by industry, but also by modelling and instilling the behaviours required for successful employment. An integral part of this is demonstrated by the way we dress, act and express ourselves. Professional behaviour is the norm at Berkeley Green UTC. This is reflected in the way that staff and students interact with each other and our employer and academic partners. For students, every day is a potential interview. Only by having the highest expectations of ourselves will we be able to reach our potential.
Our Employer Partners
Getting involved in UTC's offers employers the opportunity to ensure that the next generation has the expertise, employability skills and knowledge required to meet the future needs of business.
Project-based learning is a key focus for our curriculum learning model. All students at Berkeley Green UTC will engage in project-based learning, in which they will learn how to develop skills associated with good business and work activity, strong values associated with working collaboratively with their colleagues and employer partners in the Information Technology and Engineering sectors, and subject-specific knowledge, understanding and skills. We have identified the following as key attributes of a good project:
