Teacher of Art, Craft, Textiles, Photography or Graphics (Maternity Cover)
We are looking to recruit a talented, enthusiastic individual, working within any art discipline, for a fixed term maternity cover to contribute to our ongoing success.
At Queen Mary’s College we understand the importance of recruiting skilled and well-qualified staff to maintain excellence in all that we do. We are committed to high-quality, innovative education and student support services and pride ourselves on our welcoming, supportive and friendly environment.
Situated in 23 acres of leafy grounds, Queen Mary’s College is an inclusive, vibrant and high achieving sixth form college with a fantastic reputation both locally and nationally. Value added data places us in the top 10% of all A-level providers.
Art, Craft, Textiles, Photography and Graphics all sit within the Creative Arts and Technologies Department, which is a thriving and dynamic area catering for over 500 students studying a range of A-level, vocational and enrichment courses in Art & Media. The department values an approach to teaching art which focuses on developing individuals’ skills and ideas as well as encouraging them to see their work in a professional context; our students benefit from having their work celebrated in exhibitions both in college and in the town as well as being entered into national exhibitions.
The art courses currently offered by the department include:
1. A Level Art, Craft and Design
2. A Level Graphic Communication
3. L3 UAL Extended Diploma in Creative Art Practice (vocational)
The department has benefited from substantial investment across all areas and is based in purpose-built accommodation in the Allen Building. It is well equipped with specialist rooms and equipment including a darkroom, kilns, screen-printing facilities, printing presses, a laser cutter and a risograph printer, studios for photography, graphics, fashion, textiles, ceramics and drawing & painting and multimedia suites of computers with access to the full Adobe Creative Cloud suite.
Wherever possible, we can offer flexibility in the subjects to be taught, taking into account your personal experience, skills and preferences. As a Personal Tutor, you will also motivate, monitor, support and guide students’ academic progress through regular one-to-one consultations.
Our priorities are to maintain and extend our success in this thriving department and to maintain high levels of student satisfaction and achievement. This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher to join our outstanding team and be part of our friendly and supportive environment. While this is a fixed-term contract, the department is seeing growth, and there is potential for it to become more permanent depending on circumstances.
Queen Mary's College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion.
