St John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School · Rochester, South East
Teacher of Vocational Studies (to include CoPe and Hospitality)
MPS/UPS
The Governing Board is seeking to appoint
an enthusiastic and well-qualified teacher to join the Vocational Studies
Department from September 2026.
The successful
candidate will be an enthusiastic and suitably qualified teacher who is keen to
play a proactive, collaborative role in developing Vocational Studies further
in the school. This role is primarily
for teaching CoPE at Key Stages 3 and 4; however, the department does deliver BTEC
Hospitality, Health and Social Care and Business, and the successful candidate may
be asked to teach these from September.
The successful
candidate will model at least good teaching practice and will be able to engage
and inspire students of all abilities both in and out of lessons. This role
will include the planning, and delivery of lessons and assessment. Knowledge of
ASDAN and /or BTEC processes and paperwork would be helpful but not essential
as training will be provided. They will also be keen to contribute to the
school’s extra-curricular life to enhance the opportunities available to our
students. A bespoke CPD programme will be tailored to meeting their needs.
