Job overview
The Role
Our team of Science teachers needs to increase as student numbers continue to rise at the Greater Peterborough University Technical College (GPUTC). We want motivated, enthusiastic teachers to join us, who are keen and able to make the connections between Science and our teaching specialism of Engineering; ensuring that STEM is at the heart of all we do.
We ideally need a Physics teacher who is capable to effectively deliver the subject to KS5, but the ability to teach Science subjects at KS4 is paramount. We would be delighted to speak to the right candidate who may not have these areas of specialism, but do have specialism in other Science subjects. Your background will probably be in Secondary Schools and/or FE Colleges but the ability to manage the learning of students across the ability range is required.
You may be a small group mentor in addition to your teaching role.
GPUTC is an Engineering and Built Environment specialist school for students aged 14 – 19. Located in Peterborough city centre, the £12 million school opened in September 2016 to help create the city’s engineers, designers, architects and construction specialists of the future. UTC’s are secondary schools for young people that are sponsored by a university and local employers. They were set up by the government to encourage young people to study technical subjects and to give them the opportunity to learn the skills that employers are looking for.
Students can join GPUTC in year 10 and study engineering and the built environment (made up of architecture, design, surveying and construction) along with their core GCSE subjects. Students are also given the opportunity to pick from GCSEs such as computer science, business studies or art and design. In year 12 students can study predominantly STEM based A-Levels including level 3 options in Engineering or the Built Environment.
GPUTC's employer and education sponsors are represented on the governing body and work closely with the school and students to create an environment where learner destination is at the forefront.

’Greater Peterborough University Technical College (GPUTC) is a STEM specialist school currently for students aged 11 to 19. Located in Peterborough city centre, the £12 million school opened in September 2016 to help create the city’s future scientists, engineers, designers, architects and construction specialists of the future. UTC’s are secondary schools for young people that are sponsored by a university and local employers. They were set up by the government to encourage young people to study technical subjects and to give them the opportunity to learn the skills that employers are looking for.
GPUTC is a valued member of the Meridian Trust and as such benefits from a supportive network of leadership at senior and subject level and is fully integrated and accessing all support services such as HR and financial support. In 2022, the first year of year 7 students, GPUTC was oversubscribed with many parents wanting not only a smaller school for their child but also one which specialises in a STEM curriculum. In Key Stage 4, which from 2023 will start in year 9, students can study separate sciences, engineering and the built environment (made up of architecture, design, surveying and construction) along with their core GCSE subjects. Students are also given the opportunity to pick from computer science, art and design and some humanities subjects all of which augment a STEM rich curriculum. In year 12 students may commit themselves to, from 2023, T ’Levels in ‘Engineering and Manufacturing’ and ‘Health Care Science’ there will also be a traditional route of A Levels in such subjects as Maths, Science and Product Design.
