Teacher of Vocational Skills

The Blue Coat School

The Blue Coat School joined the South Farnham Educational Trust and is the second, secondary school alongside Brighton Hill School. As such, we are in a great position to be at the forefront of educational developments to provide the best possible school experience for our students.

There is a strong sense of community within the school and a real desire amongst staff to grow and develop our teaching and provision. We are committed to ensuring a truly inclusive, enjoyable and successful school environment for all children.   

Every student has a place in our school and the team are committed to high standards and expectations in every aspect of our work. We aim to grow and develop as a school community to meet these expectations which will best prepare our students for a successful and happy life after their journey with us.

Vocational Skills

We are seeking a teacher or instructor who can lead this vocational curriculum area, with ideally a specialism in either Hair and Beauty, Child Development or Health and Social Care.

We are looking for someone with practical skills and creative flair who has either a hairdressing or beauty background and is confident to deliver a level 2 qualification in hair & beauty or someone experienced in delivering vocational qualifications at level 2. 

Candidates

A teaching qualification is not essential however experience of training or instruction is highly desirable. We welcome applications from a range of staff from more experienced teachers to those newer to the profession; we can somewhat shape the position for the correct person and will look positively on all applicants. The school actively encourages applicants from a range of backgrounds and is proud of the diversity of the staff. 

Should you wish to visit the school or talk to key staff prior to application then we would welcome the opportunity to meet you and show you around our school.
