Information About The Post
Peter Symonds is a vibrant sixth form college in Winchester which has been rated by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’ in every respect. We have a large team of committed and talented staff who are at the heart of the success of the College.
Due to the current head of subject moving on to a new challenge we are seeking to appoint a fulltime Head of Health & Social Care from April 2025. The Health & Social Care department is a thriving area of the College, working with a stable number of students, many of whom progress to study degrees in related health and care subjects. They teach one, two and three A level equivalents courses, delivering the OCR Cambridge Technical Diploma and the Extended Diploma (2016 suite) and from this autumn will be introducing the new AAQ Extended Certificate course as a result of recent curriculum reforms.
As leader of the team, you will have a passion for the subject and experience teaching at level 3. Ideally you would have leadership experience in an educational setting as well but we welcome applications from qualified teachers with a range of experiences.
Please note that the post is advertised to start in April 2025 directly after the Easter break.
