This is an exciting opportunity to join Leeds City College as a Teacher of Science in our outstanding 14+ Academies (14+ Apprenticeship Academy and 14+ P-TECH Academy). The 14+ Academies is an alternative environment for young people in Years 10 and 11 who require a different education environment to what is offered in a mainstream school. Learners leave their previous education establishment and join the 14+ Academies roll full time. The 14+ Academies is a safe and inclusive environment that is accepting of everyone. The design and ethos of the 14+ Academies allows young people to flourish with smaller class sizes, a reduced curriculum, and focus on vocational based learning. The 14+ Academies provides opportunities to young people to maximise their potential, raise aspirations and embrace their individuality. Relationship building is at the heart of it’s ethos, and a high staff to student ratio allows learners to thrive and develop holistically. We are seeking a dedicated and adaptable individual to undertake this role and explore this incredible opportunity to contribute to the continued success of the 14+ Academies.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Plan, prepare and develop schemes of work, lesson plans, teaching and learning resources, learning and assessment plans.
• Update, reflect and maintain the 14+ Academies tracking systems continuously, allowing you to recognise the need for interventions and subsequently putting them in place.
• Work within the 14+ Academies ethos and culture as well as using relevant tools and concepts such as the effort descriptors and APLs (Academy Progress Levels).
• Set targets with individual learners to assist in their academic or development progress, including at Personal Progress Days and the writing of parent/carer reports.

YOUR PROFILE 

You will have:

• Experience and knowledge of supporting young people both academically and developmentally, including those aged 14-16.
• Recent teaching delivery in relevant subject areas (PGCE teaching placements/experience would also qualify here) which demonstrates outstanding practice.
• Experience of positively managing learner academic progress in an education setting, including those aged 14-16.
• Ability to work positively and effectively as a member of a team and on own initiative.
