What skills and experience we're looking for
At Birkenhead Sixth Form College, we’re passionate about teaching and creating a positive, progressive environment for both our students and staff.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to train to teach BTEC Business Studies at one of the best Sixth Form Colleges in the country. We are seeking a strong Business graduate who is very passionate about the subject and is interested in pursuing a career as a teacher. You will be well supported by a large team of experienced teachers and given a reduced timetable to support you in your marking and planning. This lighter timetable will enable you to observe best practice of other teachers and learn the craft of teaching.
You will be supported on the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with a Post Graduate Teacher Apprenticeship (PGTA) over a 12-month programme. The GTP includes the opportunity to gain a PGCE. This comprehensive academic programme will be delivered online by the University of Buckingham, the largest provider of teacher training apprenticeships in the UK. It will include 20 afternoon remote university lectures; monthly online meetings and termly visits to schools.
What the school offers its staff
Rated as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, Birkenhead Sixth Form College is the leading provider of A Level and BTEC courses for 16-18 year olds in the area.
The College has over 1500 students who join us from across Wirral, Merseyside and Cheshire and we have won multiple national and regional awards for our exceptional academic performance and commitment to improving the lives of every student studying with us.
We are the only specialist sixth form college in the area, meaning that our expert subject teachers are able to devote their time to delivering A Level and BTEC courses with 100% focus.
Our values of Positivity, Ambition, Resilience and Thoughtfulness underpin everything that we do, so that our belief in meaningful hard work results in students achieving the best possible outcomes. The cornerstone of our ethos is that every individual can achieve success, no matter their background or starting point. By concentrating on the process of learning and offering far more than just an academic education, the results that our students celebrate each year look after themselves.
Located in Claughton Village, overlooking the iconic and picturesque Birkenhead Park, our campus has a university-like feel with a calm and focused atmosphere, and government awarded grants have seen investment in teaching and learning facilities with multi-million pound new buildings being built on the campus in 2019 and 2023.
