London, United Kingdom Ada, the National College for Digital Skills Full time

Welcome to Ada

We are the National College for Digital Skills, established in 2016 as the first new Further Education College in England since 1993. Our mission is:  to educate and empower the next generation of diverse digital talent, and our values of Rigour, Resilience, Creativity, Curiosity and Collaboration sit at the heart of what we do and how we go about our work. We seek to harness tech as a positive tool for social mobility and improve the gender and ethnic diversity of the tech workforce.

We are a small, specialist college with c.500 students and apprentices on roll at present but with plans now well underway to grow to 850+ learners by December 2025 across our two fantastic new city centre hub campuses in London (Pimlico) and Manchester (Ancoats).

 

Role Description:

You will teach on the BTEC (RQF) Level 3 Computing programme, our new T-Level in Digital Production, Design and Development and A Level qualifications. Leading and co-delivering units, you will develop high quality content and deliver excellent lessons in such topics as computer programming, computer system fundamentals, cyber security and encryption, computer game design, project management, database design and computer networks.

At Ada, you will work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with an aspirational group of teachers and students who are passionate about computing and digital skills. As a key member of the team, you will need to be willing to step in to take on additional tasks and activities and support other team members as required.

Alongside your teaching commitments you will have other student focused roles. As a Team Lead (Tutor) you will have a pastoral, supportive role with a group of students during their time at Ada. On Wednesday afternoons we continue to deliver clubs and enrichment and ask our teachers to lead activities that connect to their interests. These have included: Climbing, Football, Badminton, Art, Life Skills, and Primary Computing club and we often take students out on trips to Industry partners or cultural venues such as parks, galleries and museums in the local area and beyond.

● Provide academic and pastoral support for students in their lessons, as well as support outside lessons (e.g. after college or during part of lunch) to ensure that every student makes continuous and effective progress.

● Support student progress by providing constructive feedback both in lesson and on homework submitted that systematically check’s learners’ understanding, identifies misconceptions accurately and provides clear, direct strategies for improvement.

● Provide written feedback on students’ progress to the college, to parents/carers and to students themselves where appropriate and as directed by Senior Leaders.

● Be a Team Lead (Form Tutor) and support, through mentoring and intervention, the personal development and academic progress of the students in your Team in line with Ada’s Social Mission and commitment to diversity and inclusion.

● Ensure you incorporate relevant industry support into your classroom teaching, e.g., through guest speakers, industry visits, subject competitions and that you take an active part in Ada’s industry projects.

● Participate fully in the learning community of Ada teachers, for example by regularly observing colleagues and welcoming observations in return and by contributing enthusiastically to discussions around teaching and learning.

● Provide or contribute to written assessments, reports and references relating to individual students and groups of students.

● Participate in arrangements for preparing students for public examinations and in assessing students for the purposes of such examinations.

● Attend professional development activities either at Ada or elsewhere to improve and enhance your own practice, including attending meetings which take place outside of normal working hours.
