We are looking to appoint an exceptional, enthusiastic and qualified teacher to join the Art, and Technology department for our 4-19 free school.
Across the UK the need for people in Engineering is increasing. At Gildredge House we offer a vocational Engineering course which inspires our students and prepares them to consider the subject as a career pathway. The school is equipped with tools and machinery to maximise pupil engagement.
The subject has received a very positive uptake from students and we look forward to the successful applicant helping us to continue to build the course together. The successful applicant will be prepared to play a full part as a team member in the development of the department.
