What skills and experience we're looking for

An exciting opportunity has arisen for the post of Design and Technology Teacher. We are looking for a passionate individual to work as part of our friendly, dedicated Design and Technology department, to further enhance the support and guidance offered to our young people. If successful, you would facilitate and encourage learning which enables student to achieve high standards: to share and support the corporate responsibility for the well-being, education and discipline of all students

What the school offers its staff

We offer a range of benefits, including:

  • payment of annual prescriptions
  • free eye tests
  • flexible working (with a large proportion of teaching leaders working part-time)
  • an onsite Sports Centre
  • investment in training and professional development
  • access to an Employee Assistance Package
  • a Be Well programme offering counselling and mental health training and support
  • free tea and coffee in staff rooms for all staff
  • free parking
  • a workload charter that ensures we have an enjoyable, rewarding working environment where workloads are manageable

Relocation assistance is available where appropriate

Further details about the role

To support this, we:

  • Trust our staff to plan, prepare and assess at the best time for them, allowing them to go off-site in their PPA
  • Have centralised our Behaviour Policy so teachers are freed up from supervising detentions
  • Demand ethical leadership built on professional trust
  • Reject fads and ensure our CPD is evidence-informed and predominantly subject-specific
  • Have reduced data collections to twice yearly
  • Do not expect staff to respond to emails outside normal working hours
  • Do not deploy staff at other Trust schools unless it is at their request

We have removed the following:

  • Performance management objectives and performance-related pay
  • Lesson observations and high stakes, toxic accountability
  • Onerous marking policies
  • Requirements for daily or weekly lesson plans

Above all, we recognise that seeking to remove the number of tasks staff undertake will have little effect on improving work/home balance if this happens within a toxic culture. To support this, we offer training for our leaders to ensure they are able to translate our values into behaviours which are built on the principles of dignity, respect, professionalism and integrity
