Message from the Principal

 I am delighted to write to you about the most exciting development in secondary education in Wolverhampton for many years. I am honoured to be entrusted with leading Thomas Telford UTC on a journey that I am confident will see this flagship establishment become the gold standard for secondary education in Wolverhampton. I want every child that comes to Thomas Telford UTC to be part of the fabric of the school, and to go home every day fulfilled and happy that they have made progress in their learning and development.

Our partners at Thomas Telford School and the University of Wolverhampton believe that all students deserve the chance to flourish in an exceptional environment that offers access to cutting-edge technology and unique, hands-on experiences.

Together, we will provide our students with the perfect combination of academic and technical excellence in preparation for the world of work and the fantastic opportunities that await them.

The innovative and distinct curriculum that we offer both inspires our students and prepares them for an outstanding future.

Thomas Telford UTC is looking for inspirational staff to help shape an innovative approach to education.

Thomas Telford UTC is situated in a brand new, purpose-built building in Wolverhampton city centre at the Springfield Campus. The UTC buildings form the first stage of the £100 million regeneration of the Springfield Campus led by the University of Wolverhampton to form a national centre of excellence for Architecture and the Built Environment.

 The Role

 We are looking for a teacher of science to join us in September 2023.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our very successful Science Department. The UTC offers a full range of qualifications and experiences in this sector. An innovative and very hands on KS3 curriculum along with the full range of KS4 Science GCSEs, either Combined (2 GCSEs) or Separate Sciences (3 GCSEs) has meant that Science is very popular at the UTC. More than half of the cohort now opt to follow the Separate Sciences route. At KS5 students can follow A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Physics or Level 3 BTEC National qualifications in Applied Science. Our mission is to Educate, Engage and Enthuse a new generation of scientifically minded and literate young people. 

The ideal candidate could come from a background related to Science. For a good quality teacher, we can provide the resources, experiences and opportunities to develop their subject expertise and craft.

We offer a real team approach, excellent, purpose-built resources and wonderfully engaged young people.

We are looking to employ the very best teachers and support staff whose primary focus will be to drive academic excellence. We welcome applications from ECT’s.

We are looking to appoint an outstanding teacher to be part of a successful team. In return the UTC offers:

·      Exceptional teaching environment

·      Working in collaboration with Thomas Telford School MAT

·      Close links with the University of Wolverhampton
