Part-time Teacher of Science at the Lincoln University Technical College
Part-time teacher of Science at the Lincoln University Technical College (0.6 FTE)
Temporary position Sept 2022 to Dec 2022
MPS / UPS
We wish to appoint a science teacher, initially to cover a temporary vacancy. There is a possibility that this could, In January 2023, become a permanent position.
The science department at Lincoln UTC is exceptionally strong (as you might expect in a specialist STEM college), friendly and well resourced.
Lincoln UTC is a unique learning environment. We are a 14 to 18 specialist college for science, technology, engineering and maths. Most visitors to the college assume (wrongly) that we are either a selective or a fee-paying private school. This misunderstanding initially stems from the stunning buildings we are fortunate enough to work in. Our Victorian, listed building at the front is reminiscent of Hogwarts. To the rear of the site, our state of the art laboratories and workshops are housed in an equally impressive, but totally contrasting, £9 million new build. The atmosphere within the college is just as impressive as the physical learning environment. Our students don’t wear uniform. They all (right down to year 10) wear business dress. They look like adults and they behave like adults. This is an unusually calm, purposeful, and respectful learning community.
The college is smaller than most school with a total 0f 370 students across years 10, 11, 12 and 13. We have 26 teaching staff, 6 in the science department. Average class size is smaller than most schools and capped at a maximum of 24.
When Ofsted inspected the UTC in June 2019 (two good and three outstanding judgements), they commented on the ‘strong and supportive culture and the exceptionally high staff morale’. Pupil behaviour and conduct were described as ‘impeccable’. They went on to say that, ‘the behaviour of pupils is outstanding. Pupils have exceptionally positive attitudes towards their learning.’
If you would like to find out more about the college or about this position please contact the Principal, John Morrison, for an informal chat on 01522 775990. We would welcome (indeed encourage) visits to the college so that you can see for yourself what we have to offer. Equally, we understand that this is not always possible and we will not view applications from candidates who have not visited less favourably.
Completed application forms should be returned to hr@lincolnutc.co.uk
