Art and Textiles Technician

Underpinned by our Christian ethos, at Trinity Academy we believe each of our students to be uniquely gifted, infinitely precious and morally responsible. Our goal is that students should gain wisdom, not just knowledge, and we therefore take greater delight in our students’ emerging character than in their grades. Of course, there is no need to choose between the two; academic excellence is promoted by virtuous character – and character strengthened by the pursuit of excellence. Our mission, therefore, is to encourage academic, moral and spiritual development within a Christian framework.

We are a vibrant community, with strong and fulfilling relationships between students and their teachers, and a growing co-curricular programme. Whilst we serve an area of relatively high disadvantage, former students have gone on to become world-class in their field.  Understanding each child to be created in the image of God, we explicitly challenge low expectations and raise aspirations.

We are seeking to appoint a hardworking and dedicated Art and Textiles Technician to support the smooth running of the Art department.  

To be successful, you will be enthusiastic, well-organised and efficient, and have a keen interest in art and textiles. We are looking for a candidate who is an excellent communicator and is committed to learning new skills and sharing their expertise with others. This is a multifaceted role and you will be working alongside an excellent team of colleagues, assisting them by preparing tools, equipment and materials for lessons, undertaking a practical health and safety role for the department, supporting the preparation of the art displays to enrich the environment of the Academy and local community, and provide practical support in Art lessons. 

The welfare of our staff is important to us; we subscribe to Care First Lifestyle and all staff are given a daily meal allowance.
