Teacher of Design & Technology (Part-time)

We are seeking to appoint a part-time teacher of Design and Technology for two days a week, 0.38 FTE (ideally Tuesday and Thursday) from the start of the Lent term (6 January 2025). Candidates seeking both permanent and temporary (with a minimum commitment of two-terms) arrangements will be considered.

We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and well-qualified, with a real love for Design Technology and an ability to convey this to pupils, as well as a natural empathy and pastoral instinct. The ability to motivate and inspire (both students and teachers) is vital, as is being able to work as part of a strong team.

This post could suit either an experienced teacher, someone early in their career (e.g. an ECT) or possibly an aspiring teacher wanting to enter the profession (we have a full training and induction programme in place).
