A very warm welcome to The JCB Academy

Firstly, let me thank you for taking an interest in a post at The JCB Academy. Everyone involved in the academy works together to provide a truly world class educational institution serving the needs and aspirations of young people across the West Midlands.

Our mission is changing lives by developing the engineers and business leaders of the future. To do this we will work tirelessly to ensure that those entrusted into our care have every chance to achieve success. It is important that learners achieve well academically to ensure that they can compete in the marketplace for higher education places and employment. It is also important that we work to develop those core skills essential for success, not just in the world of work but also in life. The JCB Academy looks to ensure that all learning enables young people to develop:

• Can do/positive attitudes.
• The desire to achieve through actions.
• Creative and enterprising behaviours.
• A willingness to learn in the pursuit of technical and academic excellence.
• Team work and leadership capability.

We have high expectations of each and every learner who will join us. Great store is placed upon self-discipline, good behaviour, uniform, teamwork and cooperation. These traditional values are at the heart of all we undertake at The JCB Academy.

The JCB Academy is a demanding and stimulating place to work. One where you will be supported to achieve your very best in a fantastic working environment.

As the country’s first University Technology College we have already set the benchmark which others aspire to. As a new member of staff you will have the opportunity to be part of the team that continues to strive for excellence in all we do. I warmly invite you to join us on our exciting journey.
