Secondary and Post-14 and FES Initial Teacher Training Education (ITTE) at the University of Derby equips future educators with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in diverse teaching environments. We expect excellence in all we do and are currently graded as Ofsted 'outstanding' in every age phase of ITT/E. 

About the Role

The main purpose of this role is to support the programme leader for the Secondary PGCE with QTS (Provider-Led, School-Based) in the delivery, monitoring and evaluation of the programme across the academic year.

Working closely with all seven Delivery Partners, you will ensure that the high-quality enactment of our curriculum leads to positive outcomes for the pupils in those schools we serve. You will be central to the training and development of our beginning teachers as they move through the programme.

Robust monitoring and evaluation processes underpin our quality assurance practices, and so you will be instrumental in making sure that the programme delivery and trainee experience are consistently high. Highly effective relationships with our school-based partners are key to our success, and so strong interpersonal skills and knowledge of each setting are fundamental to the role.

Please note this is a part time role of 0.5FTE per week; exact working pattern to be discussed at interview.

About You

As a highly experienced, secondary qualified teacher and/or leader, you will bring a strong understanding of contemporary challenges faced by teachers, leaders and learners in schools. Using your excellent knowledge of the educational landscape alongside your understanding of the requirements of ITT/E, you will be proactive, professional and personable. You will have the ability to contribute to and lead within a dynamic and fast-paced working environment to ensure positive outcomes for all.

You will be an excellent relationship builder and collaborator, able to establish positive and productive relationships with both students and colleagues, as well as external partners and stakeholders. You will work confidently across teams and organisations, communicating effectively and contributing positively to a collaborative culture.

You will also demonstrate strong digital capability and aptitude, with practical experience of using technology and digital applications to enhance teaching, learning and student outcomes.
