The Role

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, dynamic and ambitious teacher of Design & Technology to join our well established and successful Applied Learning and Technology Faculty. The post would suit an experienced or newly qualified teacher who is committed to teaching at the highest standard and raising the aspirations and achievements of our students.

In the Applied Learning and Technology Faculty we have an excellent KS3 curriculum and currently offer OCR Child Development and WJEC Hospitality and Catering in KS4. Both of which are very popular and achieve excellent results. The faculty is staffed by experienced, supportive specialist staff and we are fortunate to have regular student teachers in Food and Design and Technology on placement from Worcester University and through other providers. This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher starting their career in Design Technology teaching or someone to bring their experience to a new setting and help shape our KS4 curriculum. Excellent support will be provided within the Technology Department and from across the school to help you continue your development as a teacher.

Oldbury Academy values Design & Technology and we are a well-resourced faculty with two Technicians in Design and Technology and one in Food. We are in the process of updating our CAD/CAM equipment to support the delivery of the new qualification and are looking to recruit a qualified teacher of Design and Technology with a specialism in Wood, Metal, Electronics, Graphics or Product Design.

Early Career Teachers are most welcome to apply for this role.
