Job description

The Sixth Form, based at the Uxbridge site, is primarily responsible for the delivery of A Level, AS Level, GCSE, and BTEC Science courses. A Level and AS Level provision accounts for approximately 50% of enrolments across 15 subjects. We have a strong record of achievement, consistently ranking within the top 10% of colleges nationally for A Level progress. Qualification achievement rates across many of its courses are significantly above sector averages.

Science represents one of the largest curriculum areas within the Sixth Form and encompasses the delivery of Chemistry, Biology, and Physics at both AS and A Level, as well as the Separate Sciences at GCSE, all following the AQA specification. In addition, the section delivers a substantial vocational science programme through the Pearson Edexcel BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Applied Science.

We are seeking a Course Team Leader to co-ordinate and develop the curriculum on a range of programmes. You would teach on a range of programmes and play a key role in ensuring the quality of course provision, including supporting the Section Manager with health checks and external verification.

You will possess a degree in Science or closely related subject, together with a Level 5 or above teaching qualification recognised by the FE sector (e.g. DET, PGCE) or be willing to achieve this, and have a strong track record of teaching Science subjects up to and including Level 3. You should also have some experience of curriculum co-ordination and development. While a specialism in Biology is preferred, candidates with other science specialisms offering relevant expertise will also be considered.
