Design & Technology Department at St Bede’s
The vacancy is for a full-time appointment teaching design and technology from KS3 to KS5.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to become a team member in a long established and successful design and technology department. The successful candidate will be instrumental in influencing the next generation of designers and engineers and will have a role in helping to shape the future of the department. They will have input into the curriculum and creating and developing systems. We have three well equipped multi-media workshops with access to a vast selection of hand tools, wood and metal lathes, a milling machine, brazing hearths, sand casting equipment, a MIG welder and a working forge. A graphics room with good IT provision, and a computer suite with a range of CAD/CAM facilities including a laser cutter, a CNC router, 3D printer and vinyl cutters.

The department offers students a range of courses. At KS3 students are introduced to a range of equipment and skills including woodworking, metalwork, electronics, engineering and graphics. At KS4 we teach Product Design GCSE and Vocational Engineering. At KS5 students are offered the freedom of the workshops to develop their design and manufacturing expertise while studying A Level Product Design; as a result many of our students progress to degree level.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a creative, committed and forward thinking person who has the capability to work independently and as part of a team.
