About The Role
An opportunity has arisen for a qualified and enthusiastic teacher to deliver A Level Sociology (AQA) at Pendleton Sixth Form College on a permanent basis. A second subject within the Social Sciences (e.g. Psychology, Health and Social Care or Criminology) would be desirable.
We are seeking a passionate practitioner with strong subject knowledge who can deliver engaging, high-quality teaching that supports students of mixed abilities to achieve excellent progress.

A commitment to high-quality pastoral support is essential.
