What skills and experience we're looking for

Teacher of Design and Technology (Food)

Part Time (16.75 hours per week) or Full Time hours available

Permanent Position

M1 - UPS3: £31,650 - £49,084 pro rata

Required from September 2025

We are looking for a candidate to join our forward-thinking Design and Technology department. We encourage applications from all Design and Technology specialisms, however the ability to teach primarily Food Technology would be desirable.

The successful candidate will be based in our superbly-resourced DT department, joining a dedicated team of professionals who oversee excellent outcomes for students. The team contains multiple TLR holders, as well as two full-time technicians, who work closely together to ensure cohesion in delivering a high-quality curriculum. Our classrooms are productive, purposeful places, full of highly-engaged students. The ongoing success of the departmental approach is demonstrated in regularly high numbers of students selecting Resistant Materials, Graphics, Textiles and Food GCSE courses; this trend is increasingly replicated in Key Stage 5. The department has also forged strong links with partner schools in the East Midlands Education Trust, presenting further opportunities for CPD and progression, as well as enhancing teaching and learning through the sharing of best practice across schools. We actively encourage interested candidates to visit us and see more of what we do in person.

The advertised post is part time and we require someone on a 0.6 full time equivalent (fte) contract for teaching Design and Technology. However, we will consider applications from candidates who are looking for anything above 0.6 fte, if they are willing to teach outside of this specialist area. We will also consider applications from candidates looking for a full-time post if, again, they are willing to and have the capability, to teach outside of the subject area. This post is suitable for experienced candidates who are looking to work with an outstanding team; or for Newly Qualified Teachers. As a lead partner in the East Midlands Teacher Training Partnership, and an early adopter of the Early Career Framework, we are well placed to support teachers at the start of their career.
