We are looking to recruit to the role of Head of Design Technology. We’ve recently taken the opportunity to separate Art and Textiles from Design Technology to create a new department which will support vocational and academic qualifications. This creates an amazing chance to shape the role and make your mark. The department has the use of a Food Technology room, a workshop and additional classroom teaching spaces.
Your work will include developing and implementing methods of assessment whilst ensuring the delivery of a curriculum that’s engaging and meets the needs of all learners.
Key Responsibilities:
* Inspire and influence students.
* Evidence designing and teaching effective lessons that are personalised to learner needs.
* Contribute to the design, delivery and evaluation of the department’s curriculum.
* Work well as a team with other staff, communicating to a variety of audiences.
Benfield School is a fully inclusive 11–16 school with a distinct ethos and a strong sense of support and loyalty. Excellent relationships between students and staff and a purposeful learning environment are evident in lessons and around the modernised site. With this foundation, our students have a strong platform to be confident, happy and able to achieve their aspirations.
Our school is one of seven primary and secondary schools within the NEAT Academy Trust family of schools. At the heart of our trust is the aim to nurture, educate, achieve and transform the lives of all young people within the communities we serve across the North East. We have a national research school, which aims to build and strengthen networks of schools throughout the region and help them access effective education research and implement it in everyday practice.
In return, we offer:
* Great opportunities for continuing professional development and a career pathway across the trust.
* A team of hardworking, dedicated and friendly staff where everyone is valued.
* The benefit of working in a highly collaborative multi academy trust.
* Membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, which the trust also contributes to on your behalf.
* Recognition of previous service with other schools, academies, local government, etc.
