This exciting opportunity is on a casual basis with the potential to progress to fixed term or a more permanent position as we plan to grow our Science Academy over the next 2 to 3 years. This role involves preparation, delivery and assessment across Level 2 to Level 3 provision which has opportunities to cut across to healthcare as well as Science.
We’re on the lookout for an individual with excellent planning and organisational skills, who will prepare high quality lesson documentation and teaching resources and who is enthusiastic about sharing good practice. You would be required to work as part of the course team and support the curriculum leader to maintain learner punctuality, attendance, retention, achievement and success.

You’ll be responsible for inducting, motivating, coaching and guiding your students through their learning journey; developing inspiring lesson plans, ensuring they’re on track, marking and assessing their work and holding regular reviews to help them progress.
We’d also like you to be as passionate as we are about delivering top quality teaching and nurturing students to build their confidence and skills to ensure that students thrive and achieve their very best to progress to employment, an apprenticeship or university.
You should have excellent communication and ICT skills and be able to deliver a curriculum that is digitally focused. You will be working independently as well as part of a team and must be able to work under pressure and to tight deadlines.
