Strategic Lead – Global Communication and Events Faculty

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join our extended leadership team at the unique Silverstone University Technical College. 

Silverstone UTC is a purpose-built centre of excellence for young people wanting to break into the specialist fields of High-Performance Engineering and Business with Events Management. It is based in the very heart of British Motorsport, within the Silverstone circuit, in a stunning multi-million-pound facility. 

Due to the career progression of our current Head of English, we are re-structuring our non-STEM subjects and incorporating them into a single faculty; Global Communication and Events. This role will provide the successful candidate with the opportunity to take their leadership skills to the next level by determining the future direction and strategy of our Business Specialism and other non-STEM subject which include English, Media, Geography and Sport.  

So why Silverstone UTC? 

We are different: we are a smaller school, only catering to students in KS4 and KS5. This means you get to know your colleagues and our students very quickly; it also means that the range of planning our teachers need to do is greatly reduced. Our students tell us that they appreciate our more 'grown-up' environment and the preparation it gives them for their future careers.

We are supportive and take care to ensure that our staff have a good work-life balance: there is also plenty of experience in the team and around the UTC to help you settle in. We pride ourselves on building excellent relationships which makes Silverstone UTC a very happy place to work.  

The successful applicant will take strategic responsibility for providing strategic leadership to The Global Events and Communication Faculty to secure: 

•  High-quality teaching in English, Media, Business, Geography and Sport 
• An excellent reputation for our Business and Events specialism
• Improved standards of learning and achievement for all 

To apply, please send your CV and a covering letter to nicolawoodhead@utc-silverstone.co.uk
