Job overview
We are seeking to appoint from 27th August 2019 a dynamic and talented teacher of Music Technology at A Level to join the distinguished Music Department. This would suit either an experienced music technology teacher or somebody who has taught or worked in a related field and could bring their experience to the role.
This is a permanent part-time post, which is likely to have a time allocation of around 50% of full time. This would entail between 9-12 periods of Music Technology each week, dependent on new intake recruitment.
For a suitably qualified and experienced teacher, the role of Teacher in Charge of Music Technology is remunerated by way of 0.5 period a week of remission from the teaching timetable and provides an opportunity for career development for an existing classroom teacher.
This would include, but not be limited to, leading ongoing development of the subject’s schemes of work, including provision of updated SharePoint material, advising the Director of Music on strategic developments for Music Technology, coordinating additional support needed for Music Technology students including subject workshops, monitoring student progress, including liaison with parents, and line management of the Senior Music Technician.
For teachers who wish to contribute to the College’s programme of Extended Curriculum there may be opportunities to increase the overall percentage of teaching. The Extended Curriculum includes the College’s Enrichment Programme and the Extended Project. For example, in addition to A level Music Technology teaching, the current post holder teaches Music Technology and DJ Skills as part of the Enrichment programme.

The College operates on an attractive site just over a mile south of the centre of the historic city of Cambridge. Having responded to strong and sustained demand for places over a number of years we now have approaching 2,400 full-time 16-19 students for whom we provide a wide choice of A level subjects, together with the Extended Project qualification, an extensive and varied enrichment programme and responsive individual support and guidance. We also welcome around 4,000 part-time students on to our adult education programme in the evenings and at weekends. The College is a study centre for the Open University and has a thriving Sports and Tennis Centre that is open to the local community.
The commitment and excellence of our staff together with the breadth of the curriculum make the College an exciting and enjoyable place in which to learn. Students are encouraged to achieve the highest standards not only in the classroom but also in a range of extra-curricular activities which help them to develop new skills, think independently and exercise their responsibilities as global citizens. We encourage staff and students to contribute strongly to College life and to enjoy its many opportunities. There are good relationships and a real sense of partnership in learning between staff and students, and many visitors comment on the College’s happy and purposeful atmosphere.
We are proud of the College’s national reputation for excellence and in our last two Ofsted inspections we were rated outstanding in all graded areas. The College has had the highest score of any sixth form college in the country in the Government’s examination performance table for ‘points per examination entry’ since the tables’ inception in 1993. In recent years the tables have included the percentage of students achieving at least AAB at A level in at least two of the Russell Group's 'facilitating subjects' with the College recording the strongest sixth form college percentage in each year. Retention and success rates are high and over 90% of our students progress to higher education.
The College is a stimulating and rewarding place in which to work and study. Facilities are excellent with new and remodelled purpose built accommodation. Our staff are valued and enjoy working in a friendly and supportive environment and all of us place the student at the heart of what we do. Please visit our website for more information.
