Can you support our enthusiastic students to achieve their ambitions?
If you have the commitment, passion and belief to deliver an exceptional learning experience, then bring your talents to Blackpool Sixth.
We are seeking an experienced or newly qualified teacher to join the college's Department of Humanities as a Geography Teacher. Applicants should hold a degree in a relevant discipline and should hold or be working towards a recognised teaching qualification/QTS. The successful candidate will be required to teach Geography at AS/A Level. The ability to teach in other areas of Humanities would be advantageous, as would knowledge of the AQA A Level syllabus for Geography.
There are currently 90 students studying on the AS course and 40 studying on the A2 course. It seems to be a growing subject and has been very popular at Open Evenings this year. There is a range of fieldwork undertaken by the students and an opportunity to go on trips abroad with other Humanities students.
In return for your efforts, we offer excellent opportunities for training and professional development. As the first sixth form college to be awarded Teaching School Status and as part of the Fylde Coast Teaching School Alliance, we also encourage the sharing of best practice as we shape the future of teaching and support the educational leaders of the future.
You can look forward to a superb working environment, with a new £27 million campus boasting purpose built classrooms and state-of-the-art facilities. What’s more, our team is developing its use of advanced technology.
We are in an exceptional location on the Lancashire border, not far from the Ribble Valley, Lake District and stunning Fylde coast. The vibrant cities of Manchester and Liverpool are both within easy reach.
