Job overview
We have a vacancy for a passionate and creative teacher of Art. We currently teach Art at all key stages, and Photography and Textiles at KS5. Art is taught in four purpose built classrooms housed in the Creative Arts Block which also includes a darkroom and a gallery (The Coop) as well as a dedicated Art MAC suite.
The Art Department at Coopers School is part of the Art, Design and Technology (ADT) Faculty. The Art Department is a friendly and hardworking team of three specialist full time teachers and an Artist in Residence. Our outstanding department is constantly seeking to enrich students' experiences and has impressive exam success, far exceeding National averages. Our Art students are consistently offered places to study at Central St Martins, UAL and UCA.
The ability to teach Fine Art Graphics is required, but the capacity to also teach across Fine Art disciplines including drawing, printing, photography and textiles is desirable. The continuing professional development of all staff at Coopers is a priority and the opportunities given for staff to further their careers are clearly evident in Art. The department is well established in training teachers through the GRP, PGCE and Collegiate SCITT programmes and many of these teachers have gone on to senior positions both within the Faculty and across the school.
This post is considered to be a customer-facing position. As such, it falls within scope of the Code of Practice on English Language requirements for public sector workers. The School, therefore, has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 to ensure that postholders have a command of spoken English sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the person specification. These will be applied during the recruitment/selection and probationary stages.
Please note that we encourage early applications, and reserve the right to close this vacancy at any time should the right candidate be found.
Coopers School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
