About The JCB Academy
The JCB Academy is a school specialising in engineering and business. We teach learners from Y9 to Sixth Form and provide Intermediate (L2) and Advanced (L3) apprenticeship programmes as well as Business and Engineering T-Levels which provide additional choices post-GCSE. Our approach pairs classroom learning with practical application, and we have an impressive range of world-class industry partners who help with that. JCB, of course, but also Harper Adams University, Rolls-Royce and Toyota Motor Manufacturing to name just a few. Names that can turn heads with learners and lock in their learning engagement.
Situated close to Uttoxeter, you’ll have a picturesque market town on your doorstep and easy access to many independent shops, cafes and bars. Once you’ve explored that, there are plenty of characterful villages and cultural attractions to immerse yourself in as well as great travel links to major cities and The Peaks. It’s a beautiful place to call home and there’s an abundance of great-value-for-money housing available.
We offer a benefits package which includes an Employee Assistance Programme (including financial guidance, legal enquiries, support for issues at home and at work), access to JCB’s dental scheme (monthly fee), free access to the academy’s gym, free on-site parking and Cyclescheme.
About you
Not a qualified teacher? No problem. You’ll need a degree to back up your subject area expertise, but what’s most important is being able to inspire learners with your passion for mathematics. We’ll train you on the rest. Empathic, supportive and an outstanding communicator, you’ll be able to break down complex ideas into digestible chunks that make your lessons a highlight of the timetable for learners.
The JCB Academy is defined by a can-do culture and, as a teacher with us, you’ll drive it. Your positivity, subject area authority and energy will make you a role model for learners - it’s something you’ll live up to in every aspect of school life, including extracurricular activities. You’ll foster inclusivity that will enable everyone to reach their potential at The JCB Academy. Your own included!
