About the role

Are you dedicated, innovative and driven to support young people develop the skills they need to access real world, high end opportunities? Then we want to hear from you! We are looking to appoint across a variety of academic, vocational and support areas in our fast paced, rapidly growing STEAM Specialist College. With excellent progression routes, personalised development programmes and a wholly child centred approach, UTC Plymouth is an exciting and invested place to be.’

You will contribute to raising standards of student attainment; share and support the school’s responsibility to provide and monitor opportunities for personal and academic growth and facilitate a learning experience that allows individuals to fulfill their potential. This post has the potential for rapid progression to middle leadership for the right candidate.

About the successful candidate

You will be a passionate advocate of equality and committed to raising standards, raising aspirations and facilitating the real life chances of the next generation. You will understand the scope of the STEAM agenda and its importance within the economic landscape at a local level. You are tenacious, enjoy a challenge and are dedicated to your own professional development as a means of providing the best to our young people and our team. You will understand the importance of “soft skill” development as a means of developing the whole individual alongside a strong drive for academic excellence. You are a creative, forward thinker who understands the vital necessity to provide young people with high aspirations and a clear pathway for life beyond the college.

This role involves understanding the needs of the students and adopting/developing an appropriate curriculum/interventions in your area. You will need to be able to establish a safe, purposeful and stimulating environment for students, rooted in mutual respect and establish a framework for discipline with a range of strategies, using praise, sanctions and rewards consistently and fairly. You should have an awareness of the recent Ofsted report into science delivery and its implementation in the classroom.

About the School
