Turn your passion for Psychology and Criminology into a career that makes a difference.
This is more than a first step into teaching — it’s your opportunity to join Yeovil College and turn your subject expertise into a rewarding career. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about Psychology and Criminology, excited by the prospect of working with A Level students and ready to discover what they can achieve as a teacher. You don’t need years of classroom experience; we’re looking for your knowledge, enthusiasm and ambition. You’ll be fully supported from day one, working alongside experienced Lecturers who are keen to share their knowledge, ideas and experience, giving you the confidence to find your feet and develop your own approach to teaching.
Bring your subject to life and make every lesson count. You’ll introduce students to fascinating theories, behaviours and real-world issues, encouraging them to question, explore and think differently. Alongside teaching, you’ll become part of the wider life of the department, contributing to enrichment, student activities, course development and events that give students an experience beyond the classroom. It’s a role where you can make a genuine difference to students while discovering your own potential as an educator. If you’re ready to take your first step into teaching and want to be part of a team where you can learn, contribute and thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
What we're looking for:
A passion for Psychology and Criminology and the enthusiasm to share your subject knowledge with A Level learners.
Relevant Social Sciences experience, with a Level 4+ qualification in Psychology, Criminology or a related subject.
A teaching qualification or the ambition to work towards one — we’ll support you as you develop your teaching career.
Someone who is confident, approachable and a great team player, with excellent communication skills.
A positive and inclusive approach to working with learners, with a genuine desire to help them succeed.
Organised, reliable and open to learning, with the confidence to use technology and keep developing your knowledge and skill
What we offer:
Annual Salary: £26,864 to £32,114
Full-time position, 37 hours per week, all year round.
