We have an exciting opportunity within our Jewish Academy department for a female Casual Digital Teacher, which will be based at our construction campus, located on the Team Valley. This position involves teaching the Level 2 Certificate in Digital and IT Skills, Tuesday and Thursday 2pm to 6pm.

The ideal candidate will have a strong commitment to high standards of teaching, learning and assessment. You will be a part of a very successful team, with great work ethics and commitment to support our students.

As a teacher, you will be expected to plan and deliver an exciting, motivating and effective curriculum with employment edge. You will be good at developing relationships with learners, making sure they are on track, engaged and ready to reach new heights. Teaching is not just about delivering a qualification, it’s also about ensuring that your learners get access to the right career opportunities and are equipped to overcome all of the challenges they will face. It’s certainly not an easy job, but waving learners off onto their next steps knowing that you have played such an important part in getting them there is a feeling like no other.

In return for everything you can bring, we can offer a values-driven organisation full of people who think you should enjoy your job. You’ll be listened to and have opportunities to make an impact, your work life balance will be respected, and you’ll be encouraged to work collaboratively with colleagues and those in the wider community. Our inclusive culture means you can be yourself and our commitment to being a resilient and sustainable organisation means we always try to do business the right way. We invest in and support skills development. For teachers this includes access to our Teacher Academy where you’ll be assigned a coach to help develop your practice and attend an annual conference to share best practice. For support staff it includes regular career conversations and a summer conference.
