Immediate Start Available

Tolworth Girls' School & Sixth Form is looking to appoint an engaging and enthusiastic Teacher of Science to join our highly effective Faculty. We are a friendly school with high expectations, encouraging our students to be aspirational with their learning and to enjoy all aspects of school life. 

The Role

Our successful Practical Arts Faculty is excited to recruit a well-qualified and engaging Teacher of Design Technology.  We currently deliver 3D materials, graphics, CAD / CAM and food preparation and nutrition across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. Years 7- 9 follow a carousel system and complete three projects during the year. Our exam boards are currently AQA GCSE Product Design & AQA A Level Product Design. This post is part-time the equivalent of 3 days per week (on a 2-week timetable).

You

Our ideal candidate will hold a DT Qualification, PGCE or equivalent. You will be a specialist in the technical principles previously considered as Resistant Materials, such as timber and metal based materials, polymers and electronic and mechanical systems. In addition to this there may be a requirement to teach other design specialisms as this supports the department with its timetabling, so candidates who can teach a variety of areas or subjects will be particularly appealing. This post would be suitable for an NQT looking for a supportive and well-structured NQT programme.
