We are seeking to appoint a Resistant Materials teacher, a creative practitioner who will contribute to further developing a technology hub at our school. Central Foundation is located on the Old Street Silicon Roundabout and at the heart of the Tech City, which offers a range of amazing opportunities for our students. The post is open to both NQTs as well as more experienced teachers.
It is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious and creative individual who is passionate about technology. The department is very well resourced. The Resistant Materials room is fully equipped with workshop machinery including wood and metal lathes. There are two part-time technicians working in the department.
