Further details about the role

The school is looking to appoint a committed, enthusiastic individual as a teacher of Resistant Materials at KS4 who also has the ability to teach across the D&T subjects at KS3. This position has become available because of the relocation of an existing member of staff. We are looking for the best possible candidate irrespective of whether they are an ECT or a highly experienced teacher.

This position is temporary for one year in the first instance. The reason for this is that the intent and implementation of the KS3 D&T Curriculum will be redesigned for September 2024 so that it no longer needs to be blocked at KS3.

Although this position is required from September, we would consider an application from a colleague in post who would only be able to start in January.

Commitment to safeguarding

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure.

Please note that in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2022 an online search will be carried out as part of our due diligence on shortlisted candidates.
