Casual Teacher

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 in 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 (plus the holidays and free weekends are an added bonus).
