What can a sociology teacher expect in Cambridge?
Cambridge gives sociology students plenty to think about. It is often described as one of the most unequal cities in the UK, with world-famous wealth alongside high housing costs and areas of real deprivation. Topics such as education, inequality, family and migration feel close to home.
Most sociology is taught at A level in the sixth form colleges and 11–18 schools, with some schools offering GCSE sociology. Teachers need to lead balanced, respectful discussion of sensitive social issues.
Sociology often sits alongside psychology in a social sciences team, so teachers who can teach both are in demand.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and teach Sociology lessons at KS5, and GCSE where offered
- Teach sociological theory, research methods and key studies
- Prepare students for essay-based exams and evaluation questions
- Use local and current examples to bring topics to life
- Lead respectful discussion of sensitive social issues
- Assess, mark and give feedback that helps students make progress
Who we're looking for
