Further details about the role
Our DT department is outstanding, with a strong reputation locally and nationally for great teaching and the highest achievement. Due to its success and popularity, all students study DT at GCSE – it is a core subject, not an option. In addition, we offer Level 2 Engineering, an option taken by two thirds of students. Thanks to our forge and foundry we are able to teach blacksmithing and metalwork, alongside more traditional woodworking. Originally a Technical School, the DT facilities at Brymore are second to none.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated and morally driven DT teacher, with a firm belief in attention to detail and the ability to build strong relationships. You will have a passion to make DT fun and accessible and a desire to ensure that students achieve the best they possibly can.
Brymore is a unique and happy place to work. Our students, staff and parents are loyal and proud of what we do here. The beautiful setting in the Quantocks, fantastic facilities, good behaviour and high achievement of our students are just some of the reasons why people enjoy working at Brymore.
As part of the BTCT, we also benefit from excellent support at Trust level.
