Applications from ECTs welcomed  

 

If you love teaching science and like to collaborate with passionate colleagues, join The JCB Academy and work with a team who are committed to developing the engineers and business leaders of the future.

 

The JCB Academy specialises in engineering and business, teaching learners from Y9 to Sixth Form and providing Intermediate (L2) and Advanced (L3) apprenticeship programmes as well as an Engineering T-Level. Our approach pairs classroom learning with practical application, and we have an impressive range of world-class industry partners who help with that. JCB, of course, but also including Bosch Rexroth, Harper Adams University, Rolls-Royce and Toyota Motor Manufacturing. Names that can turn heads with learners and lock in their learning engagement.

 

As a teacher at The JCB Academy you will work with wonderful learners in a school which has an innovative education vision, great links to industry and higher education and fantastic facilities. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to organise and be involved in exciting visits and activities linked to your curriculum, as well as to participate in extra-curricular enrichment days and residential trips, both in the UK and overseas. We welcome applications from both qualified and early career teachers. Not a qualified teacher? No problem. You’ll need a degree to back up your subject area expertise, but what’s most important is being able to inspire learners with your passion for science. We’ll train you on the rest.

 

We offer a benefits package which includes an Employee Assistance Programme (financial guidance, legal enquiries, counselling, support for issues at home and at work); access to Blue Light Card, the UK’s leading discount provider for teachers, emergency services, NHS, social care sector and armed forces; salary sacrifice cycle scheme; interest free financing through BHN Extras to buy the latest technology through salary deductions, discounted shopping and discounted gift cards and eGifts; access to JCB’s dental scheme (monthly fee); access to the academy’s gym; long service awards starting at five years; paid time off for birthdays; paid time off for partner’s/child’s significant birthdays. Plus wherever possible we aim to give our teaching staff the opportunity to work from home during PPA time.

 

Situated close to Uttoxeter, you’ll have a picturesque market town on your doorstep and easy access to many independent shops, cafes and bars. Once you’ve explored that, there are plenty of characterful villages and cultural attractions to immerse yourself in as well as great travel links to major cities and The Peaks. Please contact our HR Team if you would like more information about how our Relocation Assistance Scheme could support you to move to this beautiful part of the country which has an abundance of great-value-for-money housing.
