Teaching Fellow for School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) PGCE Programme

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Early Years, primary and/or secondary age phase practitioner to take on the role of teacher and tutor for the academic assignments of BSU’s highly regarded SCITT PGCE programme. Teaching takes place both in-person at our SCITTs across England and online, with much of the course delivered virtually.

About the Role

Bath Spa University’s School of Education provides the SCITT PGCE award to a growing number of SCITT providers, working with 13 partners from September 2024.  Whilst the SCITT provides the training that leads to a recommendation for QTS, this role relates to Bath Spa University’s provision of the academic award of PGCE.  In order to support trainees in understanding the value of critical awareness of professional practice at Masters level, through the completion of academic assignments, the post holder will deliver: SCITT assignment launches, seminars to groups of trainees, individual tutorials, online support and assignment assessment. The work of the SCITT PGCE programme is delivered at a range of sites across England.

About You

You will have QTS, a first degree, a higher degree (or working towards a higher degree) and will be confident in teaching at Masters level and working with trainee teachers. Experience of working in a school or other educational institution is essential.  Experience in the Early Years, primary and/or secondary age phase is essential, but you will also have knowledge and understanding of learning pedagogy and current thinking in wider educational issues. 

You will have excellent communication skills, a collaborative and enthusiastic approach to teacher education and be a committed team player.  You will be a confident communicator and user of IT, particularly online learning environments.  You must be a flexible thinker and be willing to engage in the development of this area of teacher education.

For an informal discussion regarding this post, please contact Andrew Carr, SCITT PGCE Programme Director (a.carr2@bathspa.ac.uk), who is available during 24^th-31^st July 2024 and 19^th-23^rd August 2024.
