The opportunity

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspirational individual to raise the aspirations of our students. This post will give the successful applicant the opportunity to supervise a wide range of students as they complete the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), lead timetabled sessions to raise the aspirations of first- and second-year students to be successful at college and beyond, and work to improve outcomes and close performance gaps throughout the whole college.

Success in this role will be measured through the improved performance and progression of identified groups of students, alongside success in the EPQ and other qualifications. The college prides itself on a diverse student body, drawn from wide ranging geographical and social-economic areas, who are united in their desire to create the best futures possible. Our staff are supportive, reflective, creative, and ambitious, working hard to achieve the best outcomes for students.

We believe all our people, whether students or staff, can offer valuable feedback and support a culture of continuous development, and we are seeking an individual who shares these values. 

The person

We would welcome applications from candidates of all levels of experience and expertise. Fundamentally, we are looking for someone with the right attitude, values and mind set to contribute to the college and inspire students to realise their full potential.

We want staff who bring their genuine self to everything they do and want to be involved in every aspect of college life. We are seeking a lead who is passionate about preparing students for the future, closing performance gaps, and raising the aspirations of our college community. We are seeking a person who believes in the ability of all to thrive and is driven to identify the keys that unlock each individual’s potential.

The right person will be collaborative and co-creative by nature. This role will work closely with our College People Lead, as well the college’s Welfare and Well-Being Officer, to identify and impact key groups of students, and more widely with staff across both the college and MAT.
