Thank you for your interest in this role at South Bank UTC. We are at a very exciting time in our journey as we continue to grow in both size and stature within the local and wider London educational landscape.

We opened to students aged 14-19 in Brixton in September 2016 as a brand new school, and benefit from incredible specialist facilities that are the envy of many colleges and universities let alone schools.  Close to central Brixton, we benefit from being in a vibrant, dynamic, rewarding and inspiring place to work, and enjoy excellent transport links. As we move forward and evolve as a specialist provision, we are currently consulting on becoming a 6thForm only Academy from September 2023and are looking to incorporate a new Finance specialism into our curriculum.

Our vision is to develop young professionals with the skills and knowledge for successful careers in the engineering and health industries.  We do this through a highly specialised curriculum and offer GCSE, BTEC and A-level provision.  Our curriculum is supported via our core values of INNOVATION, INTEGRITY and INTENT; these help guide students and staff alike towards excellence. 

Supporting our vision and values is our mission to maximise achievement through innovative teaching and learning and high quality partnerships with London South Bank University and our Industry partners including: Skanska; Essentia; Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS trust; and King’s College NHS trust.  We are proud that our students benefit directly from real-life employer challenge projects, delivered alongside our sponsors and designed to develop authentic, contextualised learning. As a result, our students are motivated and highly engaged by the offer of a professional, mature learning environment. 

Not only do our young people have the opportunity to study high quality academic and technical qualifications, they learn valuable key employability skills to equip them for the modern workplace.  Our students are also fully supported through high-quality, personalised pastoral care.   

This role will require high levels of personal and professional commitment and the ability to work successfully as part of a team will be essential. You will be required to be highly adaptable and flexible and will need a strong work ethic.  In exchange, the UTC will offer first class career development opportunities, high quality personalised CPD, the chance to work with cutting edge equipment, with engaged employer and university partners and an outstanding group of young people. 

You will have the unique opportunity to play a central role in developing an exceptional UTC.  We would love to hear from you if you feel you have the skills and expertise we need for this key role. Do contact me directly should you wish to discuss the role in more depth.
