Our mission is to Develop Talent, Transform Lives, Create Careers and in order to do this we offer vocational study programmes, apprenticeships, traineeships and adult learning courses. We also run a local co-work space, Creative Works, and Big Creative Independent School. Safeguarding statement Big Creative Training is committed to a safe, inclusive environment where learners, staff and visitors can thrive. Our safeguarding culture protects learners from harm, abuse, neglect, exploitation and radicalisation. All staff must adhere to our safeguarding and child protection policies, procedures and codes of conduct, which set out responsibilities for identifying, reporting and responding to concerns. These are provided to all staff during induction. BCT operates a robust safer recruitment process. Any job offer is subject to satisfactory references, an enhanced DBS check, identity and qualification verification, right to work checks, and other pre- employment vetting. In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education, shortlisted candidates are also subject to an online search. Shortlisted candidates must complete a safeguarding self-disclosure form before interview. Interviews include questions assessing understanding of safeguarding, child protection, professional boundaries, and commitment to protecting children, young people and vulnerable adults. Equality diversity and inclusion statement At BCT we believe that the strongest communities and most innovative creative futures are built through equity, diversity, and inclusion. We are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels respected and able to be their authentic selves. We celebrate the diverse experiences and identities of our colleagues and learners, recognising that these differences strengthen our community and enrich creativity, including through initiatives such as our annual Culture Day celebration. Inclusion is embedded throughout our community and our decision-making. We work to challenge stereotypes and have zero tolerance for discrimination and bias. We remove barriers to participation, ensuring study, employment and career progression opportunities are fair and accessible to all. We are dedicated to advancing equity across all protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation, creating a workplace and learning environment where everyone has equality of opportunity to succeed, develop, and progress. Welcome to Big Creative Training Welcome to Big Creative Training Job summary The Self Development Programme is a cornerstone of the BCT 16–19 Study Programme and a distinctive part of the Big Creative experience. Every learner participates in SDP alongside their vocational studies. Its purpose is bigger than preparing young people to pass a qualification: we want to develop rounded, informed and reflective human beings with the knowledge, skills and behaviours to build positive relationships with themselves, others and the world around them, and to lead purposeful lives with integrity. Our established curriculum explores the issues young people encounter locally and the bigger questions that shape their lives and society: relationships, identity, sex and sexual health, mental health, politics, citizenship, equality, media, religion and ethics, finance, climate and sustainability, alongside emerging social and cultural issues. Personal Development was graded Outstanding by Ofsted in 2023, with inspectors recognising the quality of BCT's social and personal development programme and learners' ability to engage sensitively with controversial and emotive subjects. You will inherit an established and successful programme, but this is not a job for simply delivering the existing PowerPoints. We want a curriculum leader who understands what makes the programme successful, protects its strongest foundations and has the intellectual curiosity, educational judgement, presence and ambition to take it somewhere new. Essential qualifications / skills Relevant degree / professional qualification Level 2 English and maths A recognised Teaching qualification is highly desirable Confident on a range of PHSE / personal development topics including careers education, politics, gender identity, inclusion, citizenship, community, society, sexual health Person Spec We are looking for an excellent educator and ambitious curriculum thinker who believes deeply in the potential of personal development education to change young people's lives. You will have substantial successful experience of designing and/or delivering education, personal development, PSHE or related learning for young people, with evidence of engaging learners effectively with complex and sensitive subject matter. You will understand the pressures and opportunities facing young people today and be curious about the changing world they are growing into. You might already be an accomplished curriculum leader, or you might have developed and delivered elements of this kind of education and be looking for the freedom and responsibility to prove what you can do with it. Either way, we are looking for someone who wants to lead, question, create and improve — not simply maintain. Key tasks You will lead the design, development and delivery of SDP across BCT's 16–19 Study Programme, directly teaching approximately 12–14 hours each week and leading and developing the SDP tutor. You will keep the curriculum live, relevant, inclusive and appropriately challenging; use learner voice, research, current affairs and external expertise to inform its development; and ensure learning is thoughtfully sequenced and adapted for different learners. You will need the judgement and confidence to facilitate difficult conversations without avoiding controversy or allowing sessions to become unstructured debate. You will create spaces in which young people can question, disagree, reflect and develop their thinking safely and respectfully. You will also oversee SDP resources and delivery for subcontracted Study Programme provision and support the development and delivery of an appropriate PSHE curriculum within Big Creative Independent School.
