Cover and Intervention Teacher

SGS Berkeley Green UTC opened in September 2017 with outstanding facilities, in a state-of-the-art building. We provide specialist, high quality technical and academic education for 14-19 students with a strong interest in Engineering and Digital Technologies including Cyber Security. Although we are a specialist centre, the core subjects are very much the foundations on which all else rests. Developing learners who are confident, fluent and creative is a priority for us.

This role comprises two elements:

The first is working with small intervention groups, or as part of a teaching team, to help fill gaps in students’ learning and key skills. For this reason, an ability to teach Maths, English or Science at key stage 4 would be an advantage, though not essential.

The second is acting as a cover teacher in the case of staff absence or to enable staff development. We believe that when a teacher is absent, students still deserve high-quality, directed lessons which allow them to sustain their progress. This role is therefore central to our ethos of providing a high-quality education for all.

The UTC is still small but growing, with around 300 students on roll from September 2021. For the right candidate, this will provide a fantastic opportunity to have a role at the heart of a school, to get to know every student and every member of staff, and to make a real difference to outcomes for young people.

We require a colleague who has:

• A genuine enthusiasm for teaching and learning and the ability to link learning to the real world;

• A proven level of excellence in the classroom at KS4 or an NQT with significant potential;

• Excellent interpersonal skills and a desire to build positive relationships with students;

• High professional standards and a ‘can-do’ attitude;

• A willingness to contribute to all aspects of UTC life.

In return we offer:

• Teaching at KS4 with students who are determined to succeed in their chosen field;

• Outstanding facilities in a purpose-built, £15million environment;

• The opportunity to work in a small, motivated and dynamic team;

• Excellent career progression.
