Job overview
We are seeking to appoint committed and inspiring individuals to join us at the start of our 2022/23 academic year (24 August 2022).
This role requires high levels of personal and professional commitment and the ability to work successfully as part of a team is essential. The successful candidates will be highly adaptable and flexible and will need a strong work ethic. Teaching experience is not essential; if you have an engineering background, a desire to share your experience and knowledge with young people and a passion to change lives by developing the engineers and business leaders of the future, we would love to hear from you. Training will be provided and you will be joining a supportive, enthusiastic and collaborative Engineering Team. If you would like to discuss this informally before submitting an application, please contact the HR Team by email to recruitment@jcbacademy.com.
The JCB Academy is innovative, unique and unlike any other school, with learners from Y9 to Sixth Form and providing Intermediate (level 2) and Advanced (level 3) apprenticeship programmes. From 2022/23, we will be delivering an Engineering T-level which will provide learners with an additional qualification choice after their GCSEs. With cutting-edge facilities, world-leading partners and genuine industrial challenges that bring theory to life, our learners are equipped with aptitudes and skills that prestigious apprenticeship providers, universities and global companies look for in future business leaders and engineers.
We offer learners a unique curriculum developed by the academy and its core partners. Working with the likes of Bosch Rexroth, Harper Adams University, JCB, Rolls-Royce and Toyota Motor Manufacturing, we ensure that the curriculum is embedded in real industrial practice and includes genuine industrial challenges. Our aim is to provide a world class experience to learners and staff.
This role offers first class career development opportunities, excellent CPD, wonderful learners, an innovative education vision, great links to industry and higher education and an opportunity to work in a unique environment with fantastic facilities. We have a strong track record of leadership development and succession planning for an ambitious candidate who is keen to progress into leadership in the future.
