CORE PURPOSE

We require a technically proficient educator to lead practical, theoretical, and portfolio-based instruction within our Design and Technology suite. The role involves managing workshop safety while challenging students to bridge abstract engineering concepts with physical material production.

KEY TASKS & DAILY OPERATIONS

  • Instructional Delivery: Plan and execute rigorous practical and theoretical lessons across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (GCSE and Vocational pathways).

  • Workshop Safety Governance: Enforce absolute health and safety compliance, including machine maintenance, personal protective equipment (PPE) routines, and safe tool handling.

  • Technical Portfolio Management: Guide students through the design, prototyping, and evaluation phases of their coursework folders to meet strict exam board criteria.

  • Material & Stock Coordination: Partner with the technical support team to manage material inventory, oversee CAD/CAM machinery calibration, and structure preparation schedules.

  • Pastoral Responsibilities: Lead an assigned form group, managing daily registration, monitoring attendance, and acting as the primary point of contact for parents.

ENVIRONMENT & STRUCTURE

  • Trust Framework: The school operates under an established multi-academy trust, providing centralized support for human resources, finance, and estates management.

  • Behaviour Systems: Classrooms and workshops run on highly structured, school-wide behaviour routines designed to keep workspaces orderly, quiet, and safe for complex practical machinery operations.

PROFILE REQUIREMENTS

  • Qualifications: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) paired with an academic background or recognized credential in Product Design, Engineering, or a related industrial discipline.

  • Safety Accreditations: Valid workshop machinery health and safety certifications (such as DATA standards) are highly desirable.

  • Pedagogical Capability: Documented ability to implement school routines consistently while securing strong student progress outcomes in terminal technical assessments.

REGIONAL CONTEXT

  • Industrial Heritage: Based in Stoke-on-Trent, the organization operates within an area deeply connected to industrial design, modern material engineering, and manufacturing logistics.

  • Connectivity: The location offers distinct cost-of-living advantages alongside direct rail and road transit links into the major urban hubs of Manchester and Birmingham.
