We are seeking a passionate and resilient Vocational Teacher to join our dedicated team — with the ability to teach Health & Social Care to BTEC standards and support learners in achieving their full potential.

The successful candidate will:

• Deliver an engaging and inclusive Health & Social Care curriculum (BTEC standards), ensuring lessons are practical, purposeful, and relevant to students’ future aspirations.

• Teach across a broad vocational curriculum, inspiring students to link learning with real-world applications.

• Plan and deliver differentiated lessons that meet the needs of all learners, encouraging progress and personal development.

• Support students’ academic and personal growth through effective tutoring, mentoring, and pastoral care.

• Has experience teaching vocational qualifications (ideally BTEC Health & Social Care or similar).

• Has strong classroom management skills and a creative approach to engaging reluctant learners.

• Demonstrates commitment to inclusive education and personalised learning.
