Job overview
THE JOB
You'll be part of the Engineering Team in a UTC where the subject is our focus and specialism with the department making up 25% of the staff group. All of our 200 KS4 students study Engineering and nearly 100 of our KS5 learners have it as the most significant part of their curriculum. We are looking for individuals to be able to teach across the spectrum of the curriculum but do not have to have experience in all areas. We would welcome applications from those with specialist skills in CAD/CAM, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Workshop skills and / or Product Design.
THE UTC
Greater Peterborough UTC opened in September 2016 with 140 students aged 14-18. Doubling in size this year, we are over-subscribed for Year 10 again in 2018 and so we are seeking to increase our teaching team so we can continue to provide high-quality academic, technical and practical education.
GPUTC specialises in Engineering and the Built Environment and is programmed to continue growing to 400 students by 2019.
We are inviting applications from passionate and experienced individuals who are great in the classroom/workshop and keen to make a significant contribution to the development of the school. We would also strongly urge NQTs to apply to bring a new and dynamic approach to the classroom and workshop.
Enthusiastic for the UTC concept, fully supportive of our vision, you'll be inspirational, able to tackle problems head on and have the communication skills and emotional intelligence to engage with all the issues involved in developing a new school.
Our sponsors recognise that these are demanding roles in a pioneering organisation and we are committed to supporting staff as effectively as possible.
THE APPLICATION
Use our own Application Form (available on our website) or the TES application form. You are welcome to come and visit us before applying or to contact the Engineering lead teachers.

About Greater Peterborough UTC
‘Creating the Workforce of Tomorrow’
’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.
