South Gloucestershire & Stroud College has an excellent reputation for delivering further education and work-based programmes in a range of subjects – from business to sport, construction to media, GCSE’s and A Levels to Honour Degree level programmes.
Our experienced and passionate staff work hard to help students and colleagues achieve their personal challenges and career goals. We are proud of SGS and committed to making the College the best it can be. We are currently working hard to achieve “Outstanding” status after being classified as “Good” in our last inspection.
We are currently looking to recruit a Science lecturer to teach GCSE Chemistry, Biology and Physics within our GCSE Plus programme (retake programme).
The GCSE Plus course is set up for those learners who have not yet secured a grade 4 in at least five GCSEs, including science due to a variety of reasons such as being home schooled, or hospital educated and therefore they come to college with the aspiration of needing science to progress onto A Levels or other Level 3 pathways like health and social care. At the college, the role sits within our GCSE Plus and Pathways department and the successful candidate will be supported by a fantastic team who have a track record of achieving consistently outstanding results where students regularly make progress beyond their expected level.
The post holder should have a good knowledge of the sciences and be comfortable operating in our new look labs with support of the science technician for practical activities. Experience in further education is not essential.
