What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to recruit a well-qualified, experienced and passionate colleague to the position of Link Tutor in GORSE SCITT. This new position aims to further strengthen our Outstanding School-Centred Initial Teacher Training provision.

The Link Tutor will play a crucial role in supporting trainee teachers throughout their training year at GORSE SCITT and, furthermore, ensuring that they are fully prepared to transition seamlessly to their first year of teaching. Ensuring our trainees have exceptional support in all aspects of the training course is paramount and this will be central to the role. It is essential that the Link Tutor has the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with trainees and partner schools and can communicate with clarity and precision. Where appropriate, the role of Link Tutor could also encompass subject lead responsibilities. The Link Tutor will be a key member of GORSE SCITT’s central team and will lead on whole SCITT initiatives.

Over the past ten years, GORSE SCITT has trained over 2000 trainee teachers across all subjects and in both Primary and Secondary phases. It is one of the largest teacher training centres in the country. In 2018 GORSE SCITT was recognised as an Outstanding provider by Ofsted, supplying the life-blood of teachers within schools across our region. Our training programme ensures that our trainees are exceptionally well-prepared for successful careers in teaching, making an impact on young people’s lives for the better, particularly for those whose lives are characterised by privation. We train around 200 trainee teachers each year from EYFS through to Post-16.

What the school offers its staff

Based on a fantastic track record of training and support for trainee teachers, GORSE SCITT was asked by the Department for Education to take part in expansion pilot in 2018 in areas of challenge. In addition to many partner schools in Leeds, GORSE SCITT has continued to offer placements in schools across the Yorkshire and Humber region, providing rich opportunities to develop teachers and leaders of the future.

If, after looking in further detail at the application pack, you feel that this role could be of interest to you, then we would love to hear from you. Should you require a further discussion in taking your application forward then please contact Emma Worrincy, Executive Director of GORSE SCITT in the first instance.

Commitment to safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to full employment checks, including an enhanced DBS disclosure and barring service check. We promote diversity and aim to establish a workforce that reflects the population of Leeds.
