Head of Technology job summary
The position of Head of Technology has arisen as we are seeking to expand our curriculum as student numbers increase. It has led to the exciting opportunity for a Technology specialist to come and lead the expansion of the Design and Technology curriculum to offer a wider range of subjects. We are looking for somebody who is able to teach Design Technology: Resistant Materials / Engineering and is eager to come and both create and grow their own department, as well as lead improvements in the subjects which we currently offer.
The successful Head of Technology will be an excellent practitioner who can inspire outstanding learning and progress, and who has the ambition, creativity, determination and skills to ensure that every student enjoys an exceptional technology education; they will have high expectations and an unwavering commitment to all staff, students and stakeholders.
Given how crucial this next phase of our development is, we are keen to attract a candidate who fully shares our ethos and who wants to make a real difference to the lives of our students. As a small 11-16 school therefore, the role may be suited to someone currently holding a subject TLR, or an existing Head of Department seeking a new challenge, or an exceptional practitioner seeking their first leadership position, as additional leadership support and development would be available for the right candidate if required.
In all cases, in order to ensure that we can further improve and continue to grow sustainably, post holders will benefit from additional leadership and management time in their first year to be able to have the capacity to fully evaluate and strategically develop our technology provision further.
