Job overview
This is a fairly unique opportunity to teach Computer Science in a school dedicated to academic, technical and practical education. Greater Peterborough UTC opened in September 2016 with 140 students aged 14-18. Doubling in size this year, we still seeking to increase our teaching team so we can continue to provide high-quality academic and technical education.
UTCs are unique working environments and we would be happy to share ours with you if you want to visit us before applying.
GPUTC specialises in Engineering and the Built Environment and is programmed to continue growing to 400 students by 2019.
We are inviting applications from passionate and experienced individuals who are great in the classroom/computer lab and keen to make a significant contribution to the development of the school. Enthusiastic for the UTC concept, fully supportive of our vision, you'll be inspirational, able to tackle problems head on and have the communication skills and emotional intelligence to engage with all the issues involved in developing a new school.
There will be the opportunity for the successful candidate to not only teach GCSE and A-level Computer Science, but also to contribute your specialism to our Level 3 Engineering programme. An academic background in Computer Science/Electronics will serve you very well in this role, but we also have the flexibility to appoint people directly from FE and industry who do not have a 'traditional' teaching background.
Our sponsors recognise that these are demanding roles in a pioneering organisation and we are committed to supporting staff as effectively as possible.
All appointments are subject to satisfactory references and an enhanced DBS check. GPUTC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

About Greater Peterborough UTC
‘Creating the Workforce of Tomorrow’
’Greater Peterborough University Technical College (GPUTC) is a STEM specialist school currently for students aged 11 to 19. Located in Peterborough city centre, the £12 million school opened in September 2016 to help create the city’s future scientists, engineers, designers, architects and construction specialists of the future. UTC’s are secondary schools for young people that are sponsored by a university and local employers. They were set up by the government to encourage young people to study technical subjects and to give them the opportunity to learn the skills that employers are looking for.
GPUTC is a valued member of the Meridian Trust and as such benefits from a supportive network of leadership at senior and subject level and is fully integrated and accessing all support services such as HR and financial support. In 2022, the first year of year 7 students, GPUTC was oversubscribed with many parents wanting not only a smaller school for their child but also one which specialises in a STEM curriculum. In Key Stage 4, which from 2023 will start in year 9, students can study separate sciences, engineering and the built environment (made up of architecture, design, surveying and construction) along with their core GCSE subjects. Students are also given the opportunity to pick from computer science, art and design and some humanities subjects all of which augment a STEM rich curriculum. In year 12 students may commit themselves to, from 2023, T ’Levels in ‘Engineering and Manufacturing’ and ‘Health Care Science’ there will also be a traditional route of A Levels in such subjects as Maths, Science and Product Design.
