Job overview
The School is looking to recruit a part-time Art and Textiles Technician to support a busy Art and Textiles Department. This position would initially be for the remainder of this academic year and may suit a Gap Year Student. There is the possibility of this becoming a permanent position from September 2019.
The Art Department at Walthamstow Hall is a well-resourced and successful department. There is always a good take up for GCSEs and A Levels. There are currently 2 full-time and 2 part-time members of the Art Department, supported by a two part-time Technicians.
Due to the growing numbers at the School with more students taking Art and Textiles as options for GCSE and A Level, the Department’s need for more space has grown.
The Art and Textiles Department is now split over two areas within the School campus: the main Art and Textiles Department comprises a suite of 3 rooms in which the Upper School have their lessons, with an open plan area in which the Sixth Form Art and Textile students are based. In the main Art Department we have a small dedicated Textiles room with sewing machines and textile resources. Another has a screen wash area and fabric printing table, and the third room is used mainly for drawing and painting.
Since September, our Lower School classes, Years 7, 8 & 9, have been based in a newly refurbished Art Room in Emmeline Blackburn House, a detached building a short distance from the main School building. Alongside this Art Room there is an Art Office/Store Room, a Resource Room and a small computer suite. An area for specialist photography is currently being developed.
The department shares a small dark room - housed within Science - for traditional black and white photographic printing. Digital work and the use of Wacom tablets is done in the ICT suite or in the Art Department.

About Walthamstow Hall Senior School
Introduction
Thank you for your interest in working at Walthamstow Hall. We educate girls with academic potential to lead confident, challenging and fulfilling lives in the 21st century.
School Ethos
We believe in a true understanding of the root meaning of the word education, from the Latin verb educo: I lead forth, I raise up. Not, ‘I cram full of facts or I make to jump through hoops’. At Walthamstow Hall, pupils will discover that learning is an active process which enables them to get personally involved, not one which just passively happens to them.
We offer pupils an environment based on trust, security and friendship, where they have the confidence to try to be their best. And by confidence we don’t mean brash or arrogant. We mean that, whether innately ebullient, or whether quite shy, Wally girls are characterised by a quiet assurance that comes from knowing who they are and, moreover, that they are valued for who they are, by us and by each other. This, we believe, is the best preparation for whatever life has in store.
