This is an exceptional opportunity to become a Head of Department at Bucks UTC and lead our Mathematics department in order to support students to achieve the best possible outcomes.

We are advertising for a Maths Teacher and Head of Department and expect to appoint to one of these – candidates can express their interest in one or both roles by indicating this on the application form.

You will be well-supported by a strong team of professionals who always go the ‘extra mile’ for our young people.

Our growing UTC specialises in Computing and Building Studies with Health being introduced as a new specialism from September 2022. The new Head of English will be expected to lead curriculum development, be accountable for student progress and improve literacy throughout the school. Our school curriculum embraces the core subjects at Key Stage 4 coupled with an innovative focus on our specialisms which is then further developed into our Sixth Form. 

This is a very happy and supportive environment, with great relationships throughout the school. We place an especially high value on the development of colleagues and have an extensive professional development programme. There are many opportunities for staff to work collaboratively across the school and our Trust (Merchant Taylors’ Oxfordshire Academy Trust) and the successful candidate will be encouraged to take these where appropriate.

Aylesbury University Technical College is a unique school offering the very best of technical education with outstanding links to our specialist employer sponsors. Our UTC specialises in Computing / Digital, Health Care / Social Care and Building Studies (final cohort). Our curriculum embraces the core subjects at Key Stage 4 coupled with an innovative focus on our specialisms which is then further developed into our Sixth Form.

The UTC joined Merchant Taylors’ Oxfordshire Academy Trust on 1st November 2021. This has enabled an even sharper focus on professional development for staff with excellent support for teaching and learning and wellbeing. Shared practice across our schools lies at the heart of our Trust ethos and is already having an impact at the UTC.

We are looking for colleagues who are passionate about their subject, are committed to supporting young people and are keen to buy into the vision of what makes a successful UTC. We are seeking future school leaders who see working in our context as another step on their professional journey and who are committed to our trust value of “making a difference”.

Aylesbury UTC is a growing, non-selective school with students aged 14-19 who come from a very wide area including Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire. We have an excellent reputation for supporting young people from diverse backgrounds in their pursuit for purposeful destinations. Our students successfully secure competitive university places, apprenticeships and employment positions. Importantly, we gain huge satisfaction from seeing students successfully joining local job sectors. We are proud of the careers focus throughout the school and we aim to support young people no matter what their chosen pathway.

Students enjoy a huge range of employer engagement opportunities such as work placements, mentoring, guest speakers, workshops, site visits and industry-specific projects. We have strong links with large multi-national and local organisations alike and we are particularly proud of the excellent working relationships with our local community.

Outside of the core curriculum, students predominantly complete vocational courses as these provide opportunities to gain valuable technical qualificationsand offer more flexibility than academic course. However, from September 2023 we will be offering T-Level Health and from 2024, T-Level Digital. We review courses regularly to ensure that specific modules and qualifications match our students’ and industry needs, giving students the strongest possible start to their careers. We are very fortunate to have industry-standard facilities which are frequently commented upon by visitors and students as being inspiring. Throughout the curriculum there are industry links and practical activities to ensure that students leave us with the experience and techniques to be able to thrive in their next steps.

Our students join us because they have a passion for the Computing / Digital, Health Care / Social Care or Building Studies sectors and they want to specialise in one of these. We are an inclusive school in a selective Buckinghamshire educational landscape and are determined to serve our local community well. Students of all abilities thrive at Aylesbury UTC and we pride ourselves on ensuring that every student fulfils their potential.

Staff – teaching, support and associate – are happy at Aylesbury UTC. Professional development is important to us and our programme is varied but also bespoke to support individual needs and priorities. Our annual two-day Teaching and Learning Conference is probably the highlight of this programme. We embrace the inevitable challenges of working with young people and staff are supportive of each other. It is an excellent place to work and we are committed to staff wellbeing and a healthy work-life balance for all our colleagues.
