Information About The Post
Peter Symonds is a vibrant sixth form college in Winchester which has been rated by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’ in every respect. We have a large team of committed and talented staff who are at the heart of the success of the College.
We have over 270 students studying A level Computer Science and almost 150 studying one of our IT courses (Level 2 IT and Level 3 BTEC IT).
The successful candidate/s will be highly skilled and enthusiastic, with the ability to teach programming. Experience teaching on the RQF BTEC IT specification and using Graphic Design programs will be advantageous. You will be able to deliver excellent, effective subject lessons and will model a friendly, team centred approach whilst being committed to working in pursuit of success for our students, department, and the College itself.
All students and staff use the Google Workspace as an essential tool for their teaching and learning, where students are expected to use both the Student Intranet and Google Classroom as part of their learning experience, lesson resources and independent study.
The successful candidate/s will also be expected to be a personal tutor, a role that will run alongside your teaching duties. Expected roles and responsibilities within your role as a personal tutor are supporting students with pastoral matters, supporting students with applying for higher education providers (using UCAS), undertaking 1-to-1 support sessions to review student progress and overall supporting students to maximise their potential within their studies.
