Head of Department - Design Technology job summary

Design and Technology at Outwood academy Valley is a
practical, valuable and hugely popular subject.
It enables students to actively contribute to the creativity, culture,
wealth and well-being of themselves, within our community. It teaches how to take risks and so become
more resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable. Students develop a critical understanding of
the impact of design and technology on daily life and the wider world.
Additionally, it provides excellent opportunities for students to develop and
apply value judgments of an aesthetic, economic, moral, social, and technical
nature both in their own designing and when evaluating the work of others.

This is a fantastic opportunity
for a well-qualified, driven professional, who is an outstanding classroom
practitioner, to join our Family of Schools. You will be an inspiring
leader with the energy and creativity to lead and motivate a large team. You must possess the skills and determination
to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our
single goal of ‘students first’.

You will be an
excellent teacher with the ability to deliver at Post 16. You will also have
the leadership experience and the ability to challenge individuals within your
team whilst supporting them to achieve outstanding results.

We need a leader who is passionate about their subject and
keen to drive their department to provide young people with the best possible
education whatever their background or ability. If you care about the success
of all students and are looking for a new challenge and to develop your
leadership skills in order to make that success a reality, we would welcome
your application.

You will be joining a highly
innovative, inspirational and ambitious organisation, so we are seeking only
outstanding candidates who can realise the highest possible quality of services
to support our educational vision. Your strong leadership and ability to
provide effective support to colleagues will enable the organisation to achieve
the best possible outcomes for all of our students.

We reserve the
right to close advertisements early. Advertisements will therefore close at 12
noon, either on the advertised closing date, or the day the decision has been
