We are seeking a Teacher of Animal Care to teach Animal Care at Level 2 (BTEC) and Level 3 T Level Animal Care.

Located in the attractive village of Newbold in Chesterfield, a short drive from the beauty of the Peak District in Derbyshire and the thriving city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy Newbold is a school with a clear and persuasive ethos. We believe that children never achieve their full potential if their time at school is wasted, and consequently we expect our staff to bring out the best in each and every student. Our diverse curriculum has something for everyone, with extra guidance for those requiring additional support, and we do whatever it takes to help young people develop a sense of responsibility – towards themselves, each other, their community and the wider world. We are extremely proud of the transformation our academy has started and our welcoming and supportive culture and climate will engage you immediately. If you share our worldview and want to make a real difference to the lives of young people in Chesterfield, you can join us in transforming futures.

Why choose us:

Cutting-Edge Facilities: Immerse yourself in state-of-the-art laboratories/classrooms equipped with the latest technology, creating an unparalleled environment for both students and educators. In September 2025, a mini hospital ward built within the department will be used to enhance our delivery of the T Level in Health. This is now being followed by a unique indoor and outdoor animal centre ready for first teaching in September 2026.

Collaborative Culture: Become part of a collaborative and supportive community that values teamwork, creativity, and continuous professional development. Your ideas and expertise will be celebrated and embraced.

Inspiring Student Body: Engage with bright and eager young minds who are ready to embark on a journey of discovery. Ignite their passion for science and guide them towards becoming future leaders in the field.

Flexibility and Innovation: Be at the forefront of educational innovation, where your leadership will drive the implementation of progressive teaching methods and dynamic curriculum enhancements.

As Teacher of Animal Care, you will:

• Shape and implement a forward-thinking science curriculum that now incorporates animal care at Level 2 and Level 3.
• Foster a culture of inquiry, experimentation, and critical thinking among students, with the use of specialist facilities.
• Work with a team of dedicated science educators (11 science teachers, 2 technicians and 1 workplace coordinator) to reach their full potential.

• Collaborate with employers to create a holistic and integrated educational experience.
