Design Technology Technician job summary
We are seeking to appoint a talented, dedicated, and versatile person to join our team. The successful candidate will join our Arts and Performance faculty to support them in preparation for lessons and the running of key practical subjects in the school. This is a permanent role.
Design Technology is a key faculty within the school and a popular choice at KS4. It is a well-resourced department, with excellent levels of collaboration between teachers. The Technology classrooms are well-equipped with two food rooms, a textiles room, and 2 technology classrooms. At Key Stage 3 students study a range of topics, primarily based on Food and Nutrition, Textiles, and Product Design. These are taught on a rotation and lead to a high take up of GCSEs in each subject. We are at an exciting time in our department due to updating schemes of work to make them more skills based and engaging to all students.
This is one of two technician roles working in the well-equipped Technology Department. There is a range of equipment to support learning, and engagement with wider opportunities, including connections across the OX14 Learning Partnership. Technology is within the Arts and Performance Faculty.
Our ethos of aspiration, opportunity and integrity are at the heart of Fitzharrys’ sustained success. We are a good school (Ofsted, April 2023) with strong results that improve year on year. Ofsted praised our “warm and welcoming culture with a shared drive for continual improvement”. This is a very special place, and we are looking for the right candidate who is excited at the prospect of joining us and taking such a key role in our continued success.
All Fitzharrys staff benefit from our induction programme and our comprehensive CPD programme as part of a school community committed to getting the best from everyone. Through our focus on high quality teaching and learning, and excellent behaviour, our school continues to grow and develop.
We are proud of our students, and in turn they are proud to be part of the Fitzharrys community. Parents are supportive of the work of the school, recognising our high aspirations for every student who attends; they are both challenged to achieve highly, and supported in doing so.
This is an exciting time to join us in our continued development. If you want to be part of a school with strong working relationships at the heart of every interaction, a committed and caring staff, and a culture of working to get the very best from every child, then we look forward to meeting you.
