Teacher of Design & Technology

We are seeking to appoint a NQT or an experienced Design & Technology Teacher to join our passionate team in October 2019 or earlier for maternity cover. As a new growing school, the role is initially a maternity cover with the opportunity to become a permanent role. The ability to also teach business studies is desirable but not essential.

Turing House School is an inspirational new 11-19 secondary school, currently with years 7 to 10. Our first four years have established us as a successful and exceptionally popular school, being oversubscribed with waiting lists for each year group.  Last year we were delighted when Ofsted judged as good overall with outstanding leadership and management as well as personal development, behaviour and welfare. The school’s new-build permanent site in Whitton will be ready during the academic year 2020/21, with state of the art facilities. Until then we are based in high quality accommodation on two sites in Teddington and Hampton. 

You will join us at an exciting time with our first academic year of GCSE exams and planning and recruiting for our sixth form that opens in 2020, providing a rare opportunity for an inspirational teacher to make a mark on the new school and develop your career with us. 

The successful candidate will:

• be either a NQT or an experienced teacher, inspired by the opportunities of a new growing school
• be an excellent classroom practitioner with a high level of subject expertise
• ideally be able to teach Business Studies (desirable but not essential)
• be confident in teaching Design & Technology from Key Stage 3 to GCSE 
• be committed to the constant improvement of an already vibrant curriculum
• be flexible, dedicated and passionate about delivering exceptional learning experiences and ensuring all students achieve the best possible outcomes
• have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills
• share the school’s mission and ethos.

We can offer:

• opportunities for ongoing professional development
• a professionally-stimulating and supportive working environment
• smaller classes of 25
• a comprehensive and successful NQT induction programme
• main pay scale.
