Job overview
Director of Social and Cultural Curriculum
£62,000
Closing Date: 8th August 2021
The Director of Social and Cultural Curriculum is a key strategic role, overlaying and interleaving the implementation of a research informed ‘hidden curriculum’ that is unique to the City of Liverpool College and our learners. The role will provide expertise in curriculum design and implementation that develops social and cultural capital, including digital skills, and therefore turns disadvantage to advantage by recognising the diverse nature of our cohort. The role will strategically tailor our approach to the needs of our learners through targeted programmes of support and adaptation of pedagogy to different types of learners across the College by age, vocation, background or need. This will lead to the development and delivery of ‘The Liverpool Way’ into every aspect of the curriculum and learning space, removing barriers to engagement and learning through targeted, insight-based interventions and wrap around schemes of support. The post will draw upon Liverpool’s unique economic, cultural and social assets to bolster our curriculum and the student experience. The role will also be a significant strategic lead in building upon the lessons learnt from the ‘pandemic years’ to take the best parts of a blended learning approach to support catch up learning, reinforcement and the stretch and challenge of all learners.
The Director of Social and Cultural Curriculum will be a supportive member of the Strategic Leadership Team which drives a culture of high performance and aspiration across all areas of the College. The post-holder will, from time to time, deputise for the Vice Principal Curriculum Development and Innovation, and directly support other College Directors, Heads of Faculty, and the Deans of Academic Studies and Higher Education in delivering an outstanding student experience for all students.

Opened in 1992 after being formed from a number of colleges in the city we now have 5 locations situated in the heart of Liverpool. Currently the college serves more than a third of all 16-18 year olds in Liverpool, and educates almost 12,000 learners a year. In 2018 the college achieved a pass rate of 99.6% beating the national average of 97.6% for a-level results. Within this year as well we had a 100% pass rate in modern languages.
However, the college itself is not just facts and figures. The mission statement of provide high quality skills and education by delivering opportunities for growth to all people and business of the Liverpool City region, shows inclusivity and a community understanding. The ease in which to get here helps quite a lot to. Be it driving, buses, trains or even a ferry you are never short of options.
Being that working/living in Liverpool does offer a wide range of experiences to have. Historical buildings like the Bombed out church, Royal court theatre house or even a hidden gem like the Bluecoat School lane which boasts being the oldest building in Liverpool. The Beatles museum is a popular place to explore the band and possible find bits out about them you might not have known. Or if just unwinding and relaxing there are multiple pubs/bars, restaurants, and comedy nights to enjoy.
That’s not to say our college doesn’t offer its own fair share of experiences. Within the 5 locations the following are available;
• A fine dining restaurant with 4.5 rating on Trip advisor, certificate of excellence 2015-2016 Winner.
• Fully equipped Gym free for staff to use.
• High quality beauty and hair salon
