Design Technology Teacher

Design & Technology within St Ninian’s High School is well funded and resourced. The recently built Lower School site has a Technology resource second to none and is a fantastic place to work. Upper School is a more established environment with all of the resources teaching staff would expect.

The D&T Department consists of a friendly, organised and hardworking team of enthusiastic teachers who work creatively to ensure that, all pupils, have an equal opportunity to experience all aspects of a design and technology education. The role will include teaching Resistant Materials and Product Design across KS3 and KS4 to all ability ranges. Candidates will also have the opportunity to teach KS5 Product Design. If candidates have particular areas of expertise not covered within the present curriculum this will be welcomed as it may provide opportunities to widen the pathways open to students in our school.

This post is an ideal opportunity to work closely with an experienced Head of Department on the continued development of this vibrant subject. The role is suitable for either an experienced or newly qualified teacher, who is willing to contribute ideas and enthusiasm towards the continuing aim of providing a high quality learning experience for all students.

It is important that applicants are passionate about D&T, well qualified, enthusiastic and committed to the pursuit of excellence with students from KS3 to KS5.

The successful candidate will join a team committed to delivering a stimulating curriculum and maximising the potential of all learners through outstanding learning and teaching. Candidates should be able to demonstrate a high quality of classroom practice, a strong team ethic, and knowledge of the curriculum across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.
