Job title: Teacher - Systems Transformation Pathway & IBDP (various subjects)

Salary Range: £30,756 - £47,395 depending on skills and experience

About the role:

UWC Atlantic has exciting opportunities for up to 3 new colleagues to join the growing teaching
team as we scale up our Systems Transformation Pathway: Leadership for Just Futures, a new
model of the IB Diploma Programme we launched in August 2023.

At the heart of this Pathway is a bespoke course designed at UWC Atlantic in close
collaboration with the International Baccalaureate, as part of their review of the Diploma
Programme. The 400-hour course is exam-free, transdisciplinary, and action-oriented and
focuses on preparing students to take on the sustained work of transformative change and
systems leadership towards socially just and ecologically hopeful futures.

Teaching in the Pathway is 40% of a full-time teaching load, and the ability to teach a subject
in the International Baccalaureate Development Programme (IBDP) programme
(Environmental Systems and Societies, Physics, Chemistry or Global Politics) is essential. The
ability to teach multiple subjects, including Theory of Knowledge, is desirable.

About Us:
UWC Atlantic is the founding College of the United World College global education movement.
Its home is the beautiful 12th Century St Donat’s Castle in South Wales, where students from
over 90 countries come for two years to live and work together in a dynamic learning
landscape.

UWC is a deliberately diverse, mission-driven international movement with a strong

commitment to the educational principles of Kurt Hahn, its founder. It has a passionate belief in
the importance of education as a force for good in the world - to unite people, nations and
cultures for peace and a sustainable future.

Since 1962, UWC has entrusted students with authentic responsibility and guided them to
make appropriate choices and to learn from their mistakes. It is through this trust, responsibility
and accountability that students learn that they can make a difference (‘You are needed’) and
that through effort and engagement they can achieve far more than they ever imagined (‘There
is more in you than you think’).

UWC empowers bridge-builders, systems changers and compassionate global citizens through
the delivery of a pioneering and distinctive IB (International Baccalaureate) educational model.

UWC’s student body is hugely diverse (from around 90 countries every year) based on its
ability to reach out across the globe to attract and encourage new students from vastly differing
political, religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. These inspirational young people,
the next generation of leaders, are drawn from among the most marginalised groups of today’s
world and the most privileged. Students are selected on their promise and potential to create
impact in the fields of sustainability, social justice and peace. Atlantic College offers one of the
most comprehensive scholarship programmes available at pre-University level, with 50% of
students receiving financial support.
