Job overview
The Creative Media Department enjoys a high profile, with a strong record of success, and was central to Milton Abbey being awarded BTEC School of the Year by Pearson in 2019. It offers students a choice of disciplines: Level 2 BTEC Creative Media and Level 3 BTEC Film & Television. Join us, and you could soon be playing a vital role in the classroom and the pastoral welfare of our pupils.
Alongside teaching a standard timetable allocation, you may play an active role in the extra-curricular life of our full boarding school too. That means opportunities to contribute to off-timetable workshops, enrichment extension programmes, share good practice and play your part in aspects of community life like coaching games, directing plays or taking pupils on trips; these are all elements of a role that will enable you to play your part in our transformational education programme.
To succeed, you will need a good level Degree in a Creative Media, TV & Film production or related subject and a thorough knowledge of the curriculum. Experience teaching Level 2 and Level 3 BTECs (GCSE and A-Level equivalent respectively) is desirable, while previous involvement in extra-curricular activities (professional, amateur or voluntary) is essential. We will also consider suitably experienced applicants from an industry background.
Over half of our students have identified learning challenges and our teachers need to be creative, empathetic and dynamic practitioners. You must be confident using Adobe software and conversant with all elements of digital media, film and TV production and animation, and you will need to be highly IT literate. In addition, you will need to be as comfortable working within a traditional classroom as you are with our purpose-built digital studio.
Further details may be obtained from our website or by emailing hr@miltonabbey.co.uk. The closing date for applications is noon on 10th May 2021.

Our location and facilities
The School lies in a secluded wooded valley, halfway between the towns of Blandford and Dorchester. It occupies the site of a former Benedictine Monastery, founded over 1,000 years ago. The two remaining Monastery buildings are used daily by the School – the Abbey for regular services and musical performances and the Abbot’s Hall as our dining hall.
Our expansive natural surroundings mean the School boasts a large farm and stables used for vocational learning, a nine-hole golf course, impressive grass pitches for a variety of sports, and plenty of inspiring outdoor space to run lessons, be active, or to relax.
Other buildings and facilities are on par with much larger schools, due to the wide variety of subjects on offer at the school. They include classrooms, laboratories and workshops to teach a full spectrum of academic and vocational subjects, a large library in a converted ballroom, specialist rooms for teaching Creative Media, Art, Fashion Design and Music courses, and a 370-seat theatre. Indoor sports facilities include a 25-metre swimming pool, golf simulator, gymnasium and sports hall. Staff are able to use these facilities as a benefit of working at the School.
Our management structure and ethos
The School is run by the Head, supported by a Senior Deputy Head and three Deputy Heads responsible for the Academic, Co-Curricular and Pastoral elements of the School. We have an overall staff of around 120 people, some of whom work flexibly to meet the needs of the school at different times of the year. We are deliberately small, with around 225 pupils.
All staff appointed are expected to contribute to the pastoral and nurturing ethos of the school, supporting a full and busy sports and activities programme. All candidates for any roles are encouraged to celebrate their conventional, and unconventional, interests on their application. Appointments will be made subject to a full DBS check and the receipt of satisfactory references.
