We are seeking an organised, enthusiastic, and practical person to take on the role of DT Technician.

 DT is a well-resourced and supported subject at Ralph Allen school, growing in popularity at both GCSE and A-level. We currently run A-level Product Design and GCSEs in Food Preparation and Nutrition, Product Design: Textiles, Product Design: Resistant Materials and Art & Design; Graphic Communication.

 The role of the Technician is wide ranging from ensuring equipment and machinery is maintained and safe to use; materials are prepared, and stock maintained; through to assisting teachers and students in the classroom and workshop. An ability to pro-actively anticipate teachers needs would be advantageous, as would employing your expertise in developing new projects.

 The department has a broad range of equipment, and the successful candidate will need to feel as confident using a 3D printer and laser cutter as they do a bandsaw and lathe. Full training will be provided on all equipment, as will DATA Health and Safety training, for the successful candidate.

 An interest in DT is required and although a DT or technical background would be advantageous, it is not essential as full training will be given.  

 Ralph Allen is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children: the successful applicant must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post including checks with past employers and will need to undertake an enhanced criminal record check via the DBS. 

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.
