Job overview
Food and/ or Art Technician
Due to the retirement of our current technician, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a technician to work across Technology and/or Art departments. The role is available either as a job share or as a full-time role split across the departments.
Food Preparation and Nutrition is part of the Technology team. Food Preparation and Nutrition is a creative practical and fun subject. It allows students to be imaginative and demonstrate hands on experience. Our students use their skills to make products, and these products are taken home and shared with family and friends. This gives students a real sense of achievement and self-worth, with those of all abilities able to achieve.
The Art team consists of four art teachers, teaching across Years 7-13. The Art curriculum focusses on drawing, water colour painting, mixed-media, basic printmaking and ceramics in KS3; in KS4 these practices are expanded to include acrylic painting, more technical printmaking, ceramics and the introduction to photography and textiles. In KS5 the curriculum is taught through the BTEC Art and Design and the IB Visual Arts courses. Mixed media, digital media, 3D sculptural work, ceramics, photography, textiles, drawing and acrylic/ oil painting are included in these courses. Work is mounted and displayed for exhibition purposes across the key stages. Experience of working in an art studio or art teaching space would be highly beneficial.
We will offer:
- An exciting and vibrant place of work
- Gym facilities
- Local authority reward scheme
- High quality continued professional development
The job is available as a job share as either 3 days (22.2 hours) Food and Nutrition, and/or 2 days (14.8 hours) Art totalling 37 hours per week. We would also welcome applicants who would like to combine these two splitting their week across the departments.
Please see the applicant pack for full details.
