Could you be a teacher in Greig City Academy’s Technology Department? We are seeking a highly motivated, well qualified and enthusiastic teacher of Design & Technology that can also continue the success of our cross-curricular STEM activities programme.

We have over many years built up a successful, state of the art Design and Technology Faculty and have built up an excellent STEM program, with the aim of making the Academy a centre of excellence in both Design Technology and STEM teaching and a hub for STEM activities and events. Our STEM clubs and activities are very successful and popular with our students at GCA and through our outreach program we are involved teaching and mentoring in a variety of exciting projects to neighbouring schools.

You will be instrumental in inspiring and motivating our students and delivering outstanding lessons across Key Stages 3-5. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate that they have broad experience of working within a successful and innovative Technology Faculty. We value industry experience and welcome applications from both NQTs and experienced teachers.

The school boasts a really positive and supportive relationship between managers and staff and between colleagues, and between staff and pupils. Paul Sutton, our Principal, encourages teachers to have an impact beyond their subject and he is always available and happy to discuss ideas with you as to how this can be achieved. We have an impressive range of extra-curricular activities and all our staff are involved in running at least one.

Ours is a caring and well-ordered environment in which all students can enjoy learning, develop enquiring minds and acquire the skills and knowledge they need for a changing world. Every day we see the results of our efforts in students who work responsibly and with consideration for others - they are the best ambassadors for the school.

Your personal development is important to us. You will be able to apply for one of our Learning Awards up to the annual value of £2,400, which could enable you to develop particular talents or skills. This is in addition to the school’s CPD programme. Other benefits include cycle to work and childcare voucher schemes.
