Teacher of Engineering - Foundation Programme Lead job summary
We have been open for 6 years, have a fabulous £10m building and £1.3m of specialist equipment. Our goal is simple: to ensure our students have the skills, qualifications and experience to go to university or to take-up skilled employment. We have a specialism in engineering but we also cater for 14-19 age students with interests in Science, Computing and Mathematics.
The Engineering Department at UTCN is extremely well resourced: we have suite of manual lathes and milling machines, 3D printers, laser cutter, Hass CNC machines, welding equipment, virtual welders, and an F1 in Schools test track, to list but a small selection. The Engineering Faculty currently has 7 teaching staff, 1 Learning Support Assistant and 2 technicians. As student numbers grow, we anticipate that staffing in this area will increase further. The department staff have a wide range of teaching and industrial backgrounds which provides a team of experienced, hardworking and supportive colleagues.
The role would suit an experienced teacher or lecturer in Engineering or a colleague with a Design and Technology background. Alternatively, this role could also suit someone with an industry background who would like to get into teaching and full support will be provided if this is the case. This role is offered on a promoted basis for a colleague who can lead our new post-16 Level 2 programme. This will support students to progress to the T Level in Engineering when it is introduced in 2022.
Engineering is the reason why students come to UTCN and all students study engineering. At KS4 students follow the BTEC Tech Award Engineering course. At KS5 students take the Level 3 Cambridge Technical Engineering course which leads to the Full Diploma or the Extended Certificate. Our expectations for students are high, and the results and achievements have been excellent, we are looking for a new team member to help take things forward in September 2021.
