Join us on an exciting journey of transformation and excellence.
At Tapestry Learning Partnership, we believe in the power of education to change lives. Formed in January 2026 through the merger of two strong trusts, QEGSMAT and Djanogly Learning Trust, we are building a future where every child succeeds and flourishes. Now, we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Vocational Teacher for maternity cover until March 2027.
About The Role
At CODA we deliver a range of level 1 and 2 subjects with an increasing uptake for Vocational subjects within the academy. We offer students a meaningful vocational curriculum, linked to the real-life context of vocational careers and we value wider experiences for our students. Experience of teaching one, or a combination of, the following subjects would be an advantage but not essential:
- Health and Social Care
- Child Development
Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking an enthusiastic vocational teacher with substantial industry experience and a passion for developing learners. The successful candidate will deliver high-quality teaching, support learners to achieve their qualifications and prepare them for employment. They will be an excellent communicator, committed to learner success and able to create an engaging, inclusive learning environment.
