Teacher of Science - Health Futures Programme Lead job summary
Dear Candidate
Thank you for your interest in University Technical College Norfolk.
We are launching a brand-new Health Futures course this September and we are looking for a dynamic and driven teacher to lead it. The initial interest in the course from students – and from employers – has exceeded all expectations and we really feel that, with the right leader, this could be huge! If you are looking for a career defining role, then this leader could be you!
The Health Futures course is based around the BTEC in Applied Science but also incorporates high levels of employer involvement and real-world problem solving to build students’ employability skills. It is designed to support young people to progress via university or an apprenticeship to the many health and science careers available locally and nationally.
UTCN exists to develop the next generation of health professionals and engineers. With a fabulous £10m building and £1.3m of specialist equipment, that’s exactly what we are achieving. We’ve been open six years and we are already one of the top performing UTCs in the country. We have an established specialism in engineering, but we also cater for 14-19 age students with an interest in STEM subjects. UTCN was graded ‘Good’, by OFSTED, across all areas in May 2019.
Subject specialism is less important than leadership skill and colleagues with any science specialism are encouraged to apply. Indeed, this role may appeal to a colleague with an industry background who would like to get into teaching and full support will be provided if this is the case.
The Science Faculty is well resourced and is staffed by two Chemists, a Biologist and a Physicist as well as an experienced technician. It is anticipated that all Science teaching colleagues will participate in the delivery of the BTEC Applied Science course. The Health Futures course will also be strongly supported by our dedicated Employer Engagement Co-ordinator.
As well as making a real difference to young people’s lives, I believe that UTCN is a great place to work. But don’t take my word for it! In our November 2020 (anonymous) Staff Survey, 97% of staff strongly agreed (61%) or agreed (33%) with the statement: ‘I enjoy working at this school.’
If we can provide any further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch, we’d love to talk further.
