The contract will be for two terms but there is the possibility that this may be extended partially into a third term. Our Health and Social Care department is dedicated to achieving excellent results and have spent time carefully preparing resources and work to ensure that the handover to the maternity cover post is extremely smooth.
Whilst this is only a temporary position it is an excellent opportunity to make a difference to the outcomes of many young people within our community.

The successful candidate will find our students enthusiastic and eager to learn. Support from established and experienced colleagues in delivering the BTEC qualification will be readily given and therefore the post is suitable for a newly qualified teacher or a more experienced teacher wishing to gain further experience.
The person we are looking for should be:
- passionate and enthusiastic about education in health and social care;
- an inspirational, creative and a highly effective teacher;
- driven to ensure excellent student progress;
- a hardworking, an imaginative thinker and have excellent organisational and time management skills;
