An impressive leadership opportunity has arisen in Design Technology for an outstanding practitioner to join us to support the Head of Department, with responsibility for leading Product Design and Engineering. We would be excited to hear from you if:
1) you are an experienced teacher with a proven track record of excellence in your specialism seeking a new challenge, OR,
2) if you have experience leading a subject within Technology and are looking for an opportunity that offers new challenges, such as an ambition to work in a larger school or new key stage OR,
3) if you are in the early stages of your teaching career and are ambitious and ready to gain experience in leading within your subject specialism and having the opportunity to have a wider impact on others (both staff and students).
Potential candidates will:
· have a demonstrable passion for Technology education, with the desire to teach children in Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 to successfully master an ambitious Technology curriculum.
· have a subject specialism in Product Design and/or Engineering. Experience of teaching Food and Textiles is desirable, but a willingness to learn is essential.
· possess the qualities to grow into a highly effective leader, such as the ability to influence others, be highly reflective, possess an unwavering work ethic, have high levels of emotional intelligence and professional integrity.
· be a lifelong learner, always striving to be a better teacher, who is personally ambitious and reactive to new ideas.
· want to work in a fully inclusive, diverse, and ambitious school, providing a first-class education to our children, where you can really make a difference to young people.
This is an exciting time to join us: you will become a part of a Design Technology team determined to become a high performing, fully inclusive, outstanding provider of Technology education. As part of our team, you will be supported by the Head of Department, but also given the autonomy to lead on curriculum with Product Design and Engineering and influence teaching, assessment, extra-curricular activities and other exciting initiatives you may have. AQA Design Technology and WJEC Engineering are extremely popular options subjects at KS4 and AQA Product Design is also blossoming at A Level; numbers continue to increase year on year due to the strong presence of the subject in the wider school community. Purpose built workshops are equipped with facilities including an industrial laser cutter and 2D milling machine, 3D printers, CNC 3D routing machine, wood lathe and steam bender.
As a developing or experienced leader, you would have access to excellent leadership development opportunities and support within the school as part of United Learning.

The Regis is a school that we all feel proud of and our teachers are passionate about their work. We know that teaching can be a challenging profession, but with the support we offer and a commitment to seeing the best in each other, we work tirelessly to find creative ways to educate.

The Regis School is a secondary 11-18 school with over 1600 students on roll. We are an inclusive comprehensive school that aims to achieve the best for every student. This philosophy is reflected in the successful Sixth Form of 160+ students who are offered a broad range of academic and vocational programmes. Over 70% of our students progress to Higher Education each year.

We have approximately 200 staff, all of whom are committed to providing the best possible education for our students.

Academic achievement is at the heart of what we do, ensuring students leave with the highest qualifications that enable them to be competitive in the global economy. We have a strict behaviour policy that enables teachers to teach in classrooms that are mainly free from disruption. Students who prevent others from learning are given a single warning, then learn elsewhere in the school under the supervision of senior staff.
