Opportunity for an exceptional candidate to be an Art & Design Technology Technician shaping a brand new ARK secondary school in Barnet
What’s special about this role?
The Art & Design Technology Technician will support teaching and learning of Art & Design, Design Technology and our Enrichment offer for pupils. You will work closely with teachers to ensure our Art & DT offer develops every child and stretches and challenges elite artists and designers. We will develop every technician that joins our team, providing one-to-one support and access to network training and external programmes of development.
Who are we looking for?
Across school life, we embed high aspirations and a growth mindset in all of our children. We believe that every single child who joins us has the potential to be knowledgeable, articulate and successful. It’s important this resonates with all candidates. The Art & Design Technology Technician will uphold the high standards of support set by the founding team.
Why will you love our school?
There are lots of reasons! We’re lucky to be based in a brand-new building with top class facilities. We serve a wonderfully diverse community - we are non-denominational, mixed gender and two fifths of our pupils receive pupil premium funding. We’re led by our values - Aim High, Have Integrity, Be Kind and Model Determination and our team truly unite behind our vision. Curriculum is incredibly important to us and we’ve planned backwards from university readiness to give our pupils the very best in every subject discipline. Our extended school day (we finish at 4 four days a week and earlier on Wednesday) allows us to offer a broad, rich curriculum and timetabled enrichment for every child - but we never have meetings after school. Our team say: ‘All staff are incredibly supportive and positive and it is a great environment to work in’.
What are the benefits of working with Ark?
We are lucky to be part of the Ark network of schools, and to build on the successes of numerous exceptional start-up schools in our North London region. Ark offers bespoke professional development to all team members. Joining our network opens a breadth of opportunities - many of our team have taken on leadership roles progressing from one of our sister schools. Ark employees have benefits including everything from shopping discounts to a supportive and comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme. In short, you won’t find a better network of schools to join!
