What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking a creative, skilled, and enthusiastic Teacher of Design Technology (with a specialism in Textiles) to join our supportive and committed department team.

This post is offered as a fixed-term contract for one year to cover maternity leave. This is a part-time role (ideally 0.6-0.8 FTE) but negotiable as we have some flexibility in staffing. The ability to be able to teach art or a second Design Technology discipline - food or product design - is advantageous. We offer an exceptional working environment where staff, as well as students, thrive.
