Teacher of Sociology job summary

As a member of staff within our college, you will play a key role in fostering a positive, inclusive learning environment where all students are supported and challenged to succeed. You will plan and deliver engaging lessons that meet the needs of all learners, including those with SEND and those who are disadvantaged, and use a range of assessment strategies to monitor progress and inform teaching.

We are looking for a teacher who can draw on a broad repertoire of teaching approaches to stimulate curiosity, develop critical thinking and promote a deep understanding of sociological concepts.
