Job overview
The College requires a Teacher of Law to teach up to A level Law and BTEC to Levels 2 and 3. We are looking for a part/full-time member of staff to join this friendly department in our successful and growing College.
The role will be offered with a view to starting in Easter 2018 - possibly earlier if available.
Applications from Teachers in Schools and Sixth Form College sectors are welcome. A full mentoring programme is organised to introduce all new staff to sixth form college systems and procedures and to support and encourage professional development.
We are looking for an exceptional candidate. We expect high performance from all our staff, and are looking for an impressive individual to inspire College students. Candidates should demonstrate their ability and suitability to both the role and the culture of the College.
The Humanities Department is a collegiate and highly successful team, with a particular passion for innovative approaches to teaching and learning. This role has become available due to the promotion of one of the members of the department. Student numbers are consistently growing year on year, so this is an exciting time to join the department.
Alongside the academic opportunities offered to students, extra-curricular trips, visits and support sessions are also key to our success. Opportunities such as revision conferences, visiting speakers and speakers from local universities have all helped to offer students a diverse educational experience. Equally, our students have placed a high value on support and revision workshops, including Easter Revision Conference sessions and one-to-one support. The majority of Humanities students go on to higher education in such fields as History, Politics and Law, and enjoy support and guidance from staff in making these important choices.

About Woking College
Woking College is an oversubscribed and highly successful college of over 1700 students drawing students from more than 60 different schools. Our very successful focus will always be to create the very best environment for high quality of teaching and learning. We have a very broad range of enrichment activities, in order to greatly enhance the cultural capital and future prospects of our students. We place a very strong emphasis on maintaining our wonderful community, we have a more diverse College population than might be thought of as typical for Surrey and we are determined to maintain our inclusive ethos. We are fully committed to innovation whilst maintaining a humane and caring approach for all members of the College community which has resulted in the doubling of the student population in recent years. These approaches have been key to securing Grade 1 ‘Outstanding’ in all seven categories in our October 2022 Ofsted inspection.
Woking College is enjoying record results, very positive value-added and an abundance of applications and quite rightly has a teaching and learning culture which is the envy of other institutions, indeed in recent staff surveys over 95% of College staff said they were proud to work at Woking College!
We believe that our physical environment should also inspire our staff and students. All have benefitted hugely from an impressive transformation of the College’s estate over recent years, with the completion of a new Sports Centre in 2014, a new Art building in 2015 and a modern and larger Science Building in 2016. A full size 3G pitch was completed in 2020. A £3m teaching block opened in early 2023, and a further £3m project working collaboratively with the adjacent community centre opened in September 2023 enhancing our Performing Arts facilities even further.
We recognise the advantages of collaboration and have worked hard over the years to build and maintain close working relationships with other education providers and the Local Authority. The College has been a long-standing member of S7, the Surrey and Sussex group of Sixth Form Colleges, arguably the leading college consortium nationally, and we look forward to continued positive engagement with schools, colleges and the local community for the benefit of all.
With strong leadership from our passionate and committed senior leadership team, and with the support of excellent teaching and support staff across all areas, we look forward to the continued evolution of the College; we also look forward to meeting committed, engaging and passionate people who want to join us to further enhance the life-chances and choices of our students – which is of course our main mission as educators.
