You will lead a team of Advanced Practitioners and Digital/LRC Specialists and have ownership of the Learning Resource Centre, helping you drive your vision of inspirational teaching and learning across the college.

• Coach teachers and provide practical advice to improve TLA practices.
• Deliver masterclasses and demonstrate new learning technologies.
• Lead a team of Advanced Practitioners and Digital/LRC Specialists.
• Own the Learning Resource Centre and promote its use.
• Drive a vision of inspirational teaching and learning across the college.
• Spend time in classrooms, immersive suites, team teaching, exploration and horizon scanning.
• Serve as a source of enthusiasm for TLA and TEL.
• Report to the Vice Principal – Curriculum and work closely with department heads, Head of Quality, Head of Learning Support and senior leadership to build a culture of innovation and continuous professional development.

You can arrange an informal discussion prior to applying by contacting Greg O'Shea, Vice Principal – Curriculum at [email protected].
