Having opened in our brand new multi-million pound building in September 2015 with record student numbers Health Futures UTC is pleased to offer an outstanding individual the opportunity to join us as we go into our third year and take in our next cohort of students. As a Science focused school nearly ¾ of our KS4 students take triple Science and the vast majority of our KS5 students take at least one Science ‘A’ level.
You will be an outstanding teacher of Chemistry and will work to the Science Area Leader in leading our team of specialist Science teachers to design and deliver the Chemistry curriculum. You may have some leadership experience already or this might be your first role with responsibility, either way you will be fully supported in your development. Your key responsibility will be to ensure that the Chemistry curriculum and delivery meet the needs and interests of our students and ensures that they achieve the highest possible academic standards. Our state of the art facilities ensure you can fully embrace the range learning technologies and techniques available in our fast developing world.
Working with a tight-knit group of committed staff, your professional opportunities will be second to none as we develop our provision together and ensure the best possible outcomes and experience for our students. This combined with our partnership with the University of Wolverhampton and other providers ensures that you will have every opportunity to develop your career and gain further qualifications.
Established with the backing of the University of Wolverhampton and in partnership with a wide range of health sector employer partners, including all West Midlands NHS Trusts, WM Ambulance Service and the Mid-counties Co-operative Pharmacy, Health Futures is responding to the identified skills gap that is preventing local young people taking up the varied and valuable career paths in this sector.
As the welfare and safeguarding of our pupils is paramount, this post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

Values and vision
The curriculum at Health Futures UTC focuses on healthcare and science but strongly embraces English, Maths and Science and requires students to study these subjects. These subjects are combined with practical and technical qualifications to ensure transferable learning into the world of work and further education.

Health Futures UTC believes that children flourish when encouraged to explore and express the wide range of ideas and possibilities that occur to young minds. It believes they are known to especially benefit from creative learning and collaborative working at a young age. The UTC approach to education reflects these philosophies and taps into the imagination and inventiveness often found in younger learners.
