Design Technology Technician job summary
You will play a key part in inspiring and motivating our students, which includes stepping into lessons to demonstrate practical equipment and enhance hands-on learning. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to lead our Design Technology Club up to two days a week (3:15 pm - 4:00 pm).
This position involves working within a busy and friendly environment, providing support to the Design Technology and Art Department, Teaching staff and our students. The department is well-resourced and each member of staff has their own teaching room and desktop PC. The department has its own Staff Room within the suite of the Art classrooms.
The Design Technology Technician position has a central Office / Prep Room with workshop machinery and tool/material stores, which the successful candidate would be responsible for maintaining and organising, as well as managing materials and tools across 3 Design Technology classrooms and store rooms. The successful candidate would be part of a strong team of ten Teaching staff and two other Technicians each specialising in Food Technology, Art and Photography.
An interest in the Arts, Engineering, Construction and Design would be advantageous and an understanding of workshop equipment preferable, as we deliver GCSE and A level 3D Design using a variety of materials and equipment which our technician will be responsible for. The successful candidate would need to be computer literate, organised, and ultimately keen to be part of a dynamic, exciting Art and Design Technology department.
The post-holder will demonstrate the Trust values of Honesty, Faith, and Courage, modelling professionalism, compassion, and a commitment to putting pupils first.

This is a very exciting time to join us. In November 2022, we joined King’s Group Academies (KGA), following an associate membership lasting nearly two years. We are really excited by the opportunities this is creating for sharing ideas and approaches across schools. At our last OFSTED inspection (November 2021), we were rated as ‘Good’ in all areas and the inspection team noted that:
“Pupils enjoy coming to their happy and inclusive school. There is a strong ethos of mutual respect, courtesy and care for others.”
“Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They value the educational opportunities that they receive and want to succeed. Knowing their teachers have high expectations and want the very best for them encourages pupils to take pride in their work. Pupils confidently ask for help when they need it.”
We aspire to be rated ‘Outstanding’, driven by a core belief that all of our students deserve nothing but the best possible teaching and support in order to be happy, healthy and successful. We aim to deliver the best quality teaching and learning in a school where staff and students have respect for, and pride in themselves, their school and their community.
If you feel you have the necessary skills, mindset and determination to join us on our journey towards ‘outstanding,’ we would very much like to hear from you. Visits to the school prior to application are warmly welcomed.
