You will have the freedom to design your own curriculum and create something truly unique in the local community: this is a once in a career opportunity to create and develop your own department, as we continue to grow year on year.
The ideal candidate will have an excellent knowledge and understanding of English Language and Literature. You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students, equipping them with the skills and characteristics needed to ensure they are at the front of the queue for the best apprenticeships and university places.
Engineering UTC is a 14-19 school (PAN 600) in Scunthorpe town centre which is supported by an impressive list of local, regional, national and multi-national companies; the University of Hull is the lead educational supporter of the UTC. Next year, we will welcome Year 9 into our growing family.
The curriculum and facilities is designed to meet the needs of our local engineering industry. As well as providing students with high levels of technical skills, Engineering underpins the learning in the main STEM subjects (Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science), with English providing our Engineers with the communication and interpersonal skills our local business partners require.
The UTC curriculum and ethos enables students to become confident and independent through active and experiential learning. The UTC day mirrors that of the workplace, and we have created a high level engineering professional environment. Relationships are at the heart of everything we do.
