If you are an outstanding, multi-talented, versatile Media teacher or are determined to become one, we would very much like to hear from you. You will join an excellent team, strongly committed to reflecting on its teaching techniques and sharing excellent resources.
The Media, Film and Technology department is growing. As a teacher in the department, you will work within a successful team of 12 teachers delivering a range of courses, including A Level Media and A Level Film Studies, Creative Digital Technologies (diploma), Media – Video and Moving Image (diploma), Digital Media (diploma) and IT (applied general). We are seeking a teacher for maternity cover for Digital Media and Creative Digital Technologies (CTEC Digital Media Level 3 qualifications).
The successful candidate will have the skill set and adaptability to deliver both examined content and portfolio-based materials in vocational subjects. You will also have the ability to inspire and develop others and be dedicated to raising the standards of teaching and using a range of strategies to deliver continued success. We are looking for someone who has a strong technical background with an adaptable skill set across the creative disciplines, but particularly within the Adobe suite. Knowledge of Blender would be advantageous but not essential.
Students across all subjects have access to dedicated classrooms with relevant software and are supported by a Technician. Within the department, we also have two study spaces for independent learning. There is also a large TV/Photography Studio, equipment that can be loaned and a Radio Suite with live broadcasts on community radio station Unity 101 weekly. As a department, we are committed to providing a safe and engaging space where students want to contribute to the wider College and community.
We welcome applications from unqualified, newly qualified and experienced teachers. The role is available to start in September 2025.
