Job overview
Tes is supporting the appointment of an Area Lead – Science at a College based in North Lincolnshire.
Reporting to a member of the Senior Leadership Team, the role will be to lead the Science Area and its suite of important STEM subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, Electronics and Engineering. These are all highly popular subjects with their students (more than 500 students study within the Science Area) - together they represent a significant part of the College, including many of their most gifted and talented students.
The College is a successful 16-19 Sixth Form College, located on a busy but pleasant site in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. The College is just ten minutes from the M180 which is fed directly from the M18 and then the M1 – you’d be able to commute here quite easily from most of the towns and conurbations in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, including Pontefract, Doncaster, Sheffield, Grimsby, Lincoln, and Hull. The College was reconfirmed as ‘Good’ in May 2018.
The main challenge in the role will be to build on best practice, ensure consistency across subjects/teams, and to improve the progress their students make (ALPS scores in the Science Area currently range from ALPS 5 in Physics through to ALPS 8 in Chemistry). The College are looking for someone who can work with pace and have a continual and inspiring focus on improving student outcomes. They need someone who maintains team spirit and realises the very best from all their colleagues and staff. Their ideal leader will reward excellence, recognise where change is needed, and move forward with those changes, in a supportive, but determined and planned manner.
The role will suit:
- Anyone with a proven track record of outstanding teaching practice in a Science subject (or in Engineering or Electronics)
- Someone who can consistently deliver high value-added results and inspire, coach, and develop colleagues to do the same
- A teacher who is already successful at leading a team; OR a really effective mainscale teacher who can show the ability to drive, motivate, support and lead the Science Area to deliver outstanding results
All applicants need to have the Right to Work in the UK to be considered for the role.
