Teacher of Health & Social Care

Scott Medical and Healthcare College is situated in the vibrant waterfront city of Plymouth in the South West, which is packed full of historical interest, cultural attractions and set in an area of outstanding natural beauty with easy access to several national parks and award winning blue flag beaches.

We are part of Greenshaw Learning Trust, a Multi Academy Trust, which is a family of like-minded schools, that collaborate to provide mutual support, share their good practice, and learn from each other, whilst retaining and developing their own distinctive character.

We are a relatively new social, health and medical care studio school for 13 – 19-year-olds and welcomed our first cohort of students in September 2017. We moved into our brand new, self contained and purpose built, medical centred facility in September 2018. Our staff and students benefit from the modern specialist teaching and science rooms which houses specialist equipment, mentoring and coaching suites and a fitness gym. Our Ofsted inspection graded the school as “Good”

Medicine and health and social care is one of the largest employment sectors in the region and the demand for skilled entrants into employment remains high. We work in close partnership with Plymouth University’s Faculty of Health: Medicine, Dentistry and Human Sciences, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust and Livewell Southwest to bring about a new approach to learning, blending traditional teaching with real, project-based learning and work experience.

We aim to inspire students with a thirst for learning, a drive to succeed and a curiosity to learn, develop and care. Our vision is for a school providing the medical and healthcare professionals of the future, transforming the life chances of all of our young people. We shall provide an education which will enable students to enter higher education and the job market with key specialist medical and healthcare experience as well as having the work experience, skills and attitudes which will enable them to move into employer or higher education and become valued staff to prospective employers.

“Scott Medical and Healthcare College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment”.  All teaching and support members of staff must undertake all the required employment checks which include, but is not limited to, the uptake of references both professional and personal and a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) Check.
