St Joseph's College is a vibrant independent day and boarding school in Ipswich providing a broad and seamless education for over 560 boys and girls aged 3 - 18. We provide a wide range of stimulating and challenging opportunities that our pupils embrace in both the academic and extra-curricular life of the College.

The resultant all-round education develops our pupils into well-rounded individuals who challenge themselves to ‘be our best’ in every aspect of life at the school, and beyond. Our innovative teaching and subsequent success starts in the Prep School and runs all the way through the Senior School and Sixth Form.

St Joseph’s College is looking to appoint an exceptional, enthusiastic and qualified teacher to join the Technology Faculty during what is an exciting and pivotal phase of the College’s development. Across the UK the need for people in Engineering is increasing and therefore from September 2021, we launched L2 and L3 BTEC Engineering. The subjects have been positively welcomed and we look forwards to the successful applicant building and growing the courses.  The successful applicant will be prepared to play a full part as a team member in the development of the Technology faculty. The successful candidate will be creative and passionate and committed to the developments of STEM and someone who possesses a strong vision for Engineering.

The Teacher of Engineering will be expected to teach engineering across the key stages and work with the coordinator of Engineering in our prep school to develop transition projects. A background in Design and Technology is welcomed. Students have access to well-equipped workshops for three-dimensional work in wood, metal, textiles and plastic and in the computer suites, they can learn about the complexities of computing and digital media. The Centre also has electronics and computer-aided design (CAD) facilities.
