Job Opportunity
Would you like to make a difference to the lives of young people? We are looking for a qualified teacher to teach within our Enrichment & Vocational curriculum. Within this faculty, we offer a mix of typical subjects such as Design Tech, Art, Ceramics, Food Tech, as well as Bricklaying, Hair & Beauty, Trainer Design, Music Studio Production, and Childcare.
A Design Tech teacher joining us would be practically skilled and imaginative. It would suit a teacher who is looking for a new challenge, working with small groups on AQA Awards on projects that might involve 'real world trade skills' such as woodwork, basic bricklaying, basic plumbing, and small-scale electronics.
We do not expect a Design Tech teacher to be an expert in all of these areas, but we hope for candidates who have a strong grounding in their subject and the flexibility to train in new areas, such as bricklaying, to then deliver.
Any ability to deliver basic computing would also be a bonus.
Importantly, the ability to work confidently with children who sometimes present with disengagement and impulsivity—by providing clear boundaries whilst also showing empathy—is an absolute must.
The job will provide interesting work, support for your development, and a creative environment. You will work with small numbers of children intensively, but it will also be a challenge in terms of getting pupils who have fallen out of love with learning and school life back on track.
We can offer:
1. The opportunity to teach small classes of up to 8 pupils.
2. Mentor support in sessions.
3. Skilled, supportive, and committed colleagues.
4. The opportunity to broaden your teaching experience in a specialist field.
5. A school that will actively support you in developing your career.
We warmly welcome visits to our school. To arrange a visit please contact [emailprotected]
The school is committed to the safeguarding and wellbeing of students and expects staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to undergo appropriate child protection screening, including a DBS check.
