What skills and experience we're looking for
Preparing students to be Career and Life Ready for outstanding STEM careers. Can you lead our students to success?
University Technical College South Durham provides an innovative education for 14-19 year olds, encompassing real, relevant workplace experience in partnership with world-class companies. With a focus on STEM, particularly advanced manufacturing and engineering, it is located on Aycliffe Business Park, County Durham and is expanding rapidly.
The UTC was rated Good by Ofsted in 2024 and has developed a reputation and track record of outstanding destinations for our students. It has a single focus – to help young people become career and life ready.
We are looking to appoint an outstanding Mathematics teacher to join our teaching team. The chance to work in an innovative education establishment is rare and this is an exciting opportunity to join us as we continue to expand and develop; designing and delivering high quality learning experiences for our students. As a key member of the UTC team you will help shape our KS4 and KS5 curricula, set high expectations and inspire our students through making the subject engaging and relevant. You’ll also build positive relationships with students, staff and parents and you’ll be able to demonstrate successful outcomes for your students at KS4. The ability to teach A Level Maths/Further Maths/Core Maths is desirable but not essential.
Our sponsors, Hitachi Rail, Gestamp Tallent and the University of Sunderland, are committed to creating an outstanding school that will provide a talented young workforce for companies in the North of England. If you have the expertise and commitment to make a life-changing impact on our students then we would like to hear from you.
We are an equal opportunities employer and we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
What the school offers its staff
Message from the Principal
Thank you for your interest in the role of Teacher of Maths. This is an exciting opportunity to join us in the creation of a very different type of education for students who have a strong interest in STEM subjects.
The chance to be a part of a rapidly expanding innovative education establishment is very rare and this is a wonderful opportunity. As a key member of a small team you will support the culture of the organisation and our students’ educational experience.
The education system tends to separate students into those who are academic and those who are vocational. I see no reason why talented young people, both boys and girls, who are interested in STEM subjects, cannot gain academic qualifications, build technical expertise and develop core skills through real experience in businesses. We call this our Student Leaver Profile and the focus of the UTC education is to ensure that students are Career and Life Ready.
Your primary focus will be on the high quality teaching and delivery of our Maths curriculum at GCSE and A Level.
We were the first university technical college in the North East and already play a significant role in the provision of education and skills for the engineering and manufacturing industry in the area. Our business sponsors, Gestamp Tallent and Hitachi Rail, are two of the biggest and most influential engineering employers in the North East. The University of Sunderland has a proud record of combining educational excellence with a deep commitment to careers and the well-being of the local area.
The founding partners, five years into our journey and success, are fully committed to the UTC and are demonstrating that in their level of support, but we do not underestimate the importance of appointing an enthusiastic teacher whose experience, energy, ambition and values match our own.
We have tried to give you a clear picture of our aspirations for the UTC in this pack and additional information can be found on our website www.utcsouthdurham.org.
Please don’t hesitate to contact our Vice Principal of Teaching and Learning if you have further questions.
Joining UTC South Durham will be a career-defining opportunity for the right person. If you think you are that person we look forward to receiving an application from you.
Yours sincerely
Tom Dower
Principal
UTC South Durham
