Job overview
Games Computing Teacher
Lincoln UTC is a specialist science, technology, engineering and maths school for 14 to 19 year olds. We are much smaller than most schools with only 200 students on role. In addition to our specialist curriculum we offer students the chance to study in what is a unique learning environment. We are fortunate to work in an £8 million, state of the art building in the centre of Lincoln city. The atmosphere within the UTC is very mature, calm and purposeful. We don’t have any Key Stage 3 students. Behaviour is excellent. Attendance is excellent and the relationships between students and staff are positive and respectful. We don’t have a uniform. All students wear business dress. We don’t have bells. We expect our students to behave as adults and, on the whole, they live up to these expectations.
We are seeking to appoint a full time games computing Teacher who has a passion for achievement in teaching and who will support our unique curriculum delivery. Although KS5 Games Computing will be the majority of the teaching commitment, the successful candidate will also be expected to teach some computer science at KS4.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced games computing specialist with a passion for computer programming and a working knowledge of Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine 4. The qualifications currently on offer to students are from the series of AQA Tech Levels in Video Games (TVQ01022 to TVQ01024).
You will be required to provide a minimum of 2 recent and relevant references. The role is also subject to an Enhanced DBS check, overseas police clearances where applicable and the UTC will carry out checks on eligibility to work in the UK and qualification checks where appropriate.
If you feel you have the necessary skills to bring effective teaching and passion to this department, please contact Mr John Morrison on 01522 775990 for an informal discussion or apply using the attached application form and return to hr@lincolnutc.co.uk
Closing Date: Noon – Monday 23rd April 2018

About Lincoln UTC
We are not selective, but we are not for everyone. Our challenging technical, practical and academic curriculum is not an easy option. We have a very mature, calm and purposeful learning environment, and require students to be fully committed to our approach.
The UTC prepares students for a seamless transition into the workplace and for this reason we operate a longer working day than most schools. Our hours begin at 8.45am and finish at 4.15pm, with a 20 minute morning break and a 30 minute lunch. All required work is completed within this time frame therefore we do not issue formal homework.
We do not have a uniform but expect our students to dress accordingly in business attire. We also do not operate a bell. Students are expected to effectively manage themselves, as they would at university or in employment, and arrive at lessons on time and ready to learn.
Our behaviour policy is consistent and has clear boundaries, therefore disruption is rare and students treat our business environment with the respect it deserves.
We have fewer students and smaller class sizes than most ‘ordinary’ schools, and for this reason lessons are less chaotic. Teachers have time to help everyone individually, which leads to the development of positive and supportive relationships between the students and the staff.
Attendance is in excess of 97% for all year groups, which is exceptionally strong. Students are happy and proud to be part of our community. They enjoy coming to the UTC and want to attend regularly.
Our vision is to ensure that every student develops the skills required to secure the next step of their chosen career, either at university or in employment. In order to achieve this, we place an explicit focus on skill development and the acquisition of the traits of the ideal learner. It pervades all that we do and the ways in which students are encouraged to learn.
