Full Job Description

The College Oxford International College (OIC) Brighton is an international day and boarding college for students in UK years 9 to 13. Following the IGCSE and A Level curriculums, OIC Brighton's curriculum is based on the proven success of Oxford International College's three-pillared curriculum model which has led to outstanding academic outcomes. OIC Brighton offers a strategic, future-focussed pathway, preparing our leavers for the most competitive courses at the world's best universities. For the right candidate, this is an exciting and highly rewarding opportunity for professional development within a young College, shaping its academic trajectory within Nord Anglia's world-class international network of schools. The Role OIC Brighton's Global Strategic Pathways model aims to prepare all pupils for top university destinations whilst ensuring the highest levels of personal development. Academic staff will fulfil an important role in ensuring these outcomes, contributing to the development of their subject across the College and to the College's Super Curriculum programme encompassing personal development, careers guidance and preparation and academic support and extension. Personal development and wellbeing run through the centre of everything we do at OIC Brighton, aiming to ensure that our students are well prepared to thrive in their chosen pathways. The ideal candidate will have a flexible, creative approach to their subject, looking to support students' personal and academic development. Academic staff are likely to have pastoral and academic tutoring responsibilities and will be expected to contribute to the wider life of the College through clubs, activities and supervision duties. Psychology is taught at IGCSE and A Level following the AQA examination board. Teaching class sizes will be small and taught in purpose built, modern facilities. OIC Brighton attracts high achieving and ambitious students from across the world including local day students. In this third year of operating, OIC Brighton will have students in Year 9 (pre-IGCSE); Year 10 and 11 (2 year IGCSE); Year 11 (intensive 1 year IGCSE); Year 12 (AS levels) and Year 13 (A levels). The culture of the College is one of high expectations, with a Collegiate feel achieved through a relatively informal uniform and use of teachers' and students' first names. Key to the OIC academic model is regular assessment, with weekly testing run on Saturday mornings for examination groups. The setting, marking and feedback process, including a commitment to work on some Saturday mornings each term, is an integral responsibility within this middle leadership role. Responsibilities

  • Lead in the delivery, oversight and evaluation of the Psychology curriculum;
  • Use academic data to monitor and track students' progress in the subject;
  • Take an active part in the Academic Leadership Group to provide insights into the College's academic provision and student progress;
  • Engage, where appropriate, external providers, trainers and visiting speakers to enhance the delivery of the subject
  • Act as a strategy tutor to a group of students;
  • Promote the subject as an option at IGCSE and A Level;
  • Mentor and support students intending to study Psychology at undergraduate level;
  • Contribute to the College's super curricular programme.
