Who we are

Winner of the Best Place to Work at the Tech South West Awards 2025, City College Plymouth offers a culture the College is proud of. Our core values of Respect, Ownership and Integrity help create an environment that supports a passion for teaching and learning. These values guide our work as we enrich our community through knowledge, experience and skills so every student can achieve their best.

As one of the country's largest providers of quality education and training, City College Plymouth is entering a period of transition to enable us to propel education into the future. We take pride in offering a learning environment and organisational culture that contribute positively to the health, wellbeing and sustainability of our community and enable all our students and staff to achieve their full potential.

The Role

We are looking for two dynamic individuals with a history of teaching young people with SEND. Our Pathways for Progression department is our specialist SEND provision, where students are working towards developing their social communication, as well as undertaking qualifications in Employability/ Independent Living Skills. We are looking for individuals that are confidently able to teach Entry Level English and maths, Independent Living Skills and a range of work skills for young people aged 16+.

You will need to have a clear understanding of Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties in young people and how to support them. You will also need a clear understanding of Adaptive Strategies for SEND learners, and the EHCP process. You will be able to communicate clearly with professionals, parents and carers, as well as use a multitude of communication strategies to support students with communication difficulties.

The delivery days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. Lessons are delivered over 34 weeks per year and the contract will be held over 52 weeks per year.

What Will You Bring to the Role

• Adapting - You will need to be able to adapt within a fast paced environment, demonstrating an ability to be flexible with your work based on student need.
• Perceptiveness - You will be perceptive of the needs of those around you, including being perceptive to non-verbal communication and how individuals actions are more complex than just their behaviour.
• Decision making - You will be able to make appropriate decisions in a time sensitive situation.
• Learning - You will be able to reflect on and learn from your experiences, and continue to develop and shape your practice.

Benefits

City College Plymouth will offer you;

• Career development opportunities.
• Generous contributions towards your pension.
• Free tea, coffee and lunch in our dedicated staff lounge.

How we recruit

We aim to recruit based on potential, not experience. We are interested in seeing your behaviours in action and how they will help you become successful at City College Plymouth, giving everyone the opportunity to show their potential, regardless of background or experience.

After completing our online application form, you will be asked to complete an online assessment within a few days of this Vacancy closing. This assessment asks you no questions at all. Instead, it observes your behaviour and natural strengths in action, with a series of engaging, intuitive tasks. You will receive a report outlining your behaviours once you have completed the assessment, regardless of whether you progress to the next stage or not, providing you with some feedback.

The College welcomes applications from service leavers and the Armed Forces community, and supports those service leavers who are Reservists in any of the Armed Forces.

The College reserves the right to close this advertisement early if sufficient applications have been received.
