We are looking to appoint a motivated, enthusiastic and inspirational Teacher of Technology.  A successful candidate would be able to teach Food & Textiles and Design Technology (with a Resistant Materials focus) at KS3, with the ability to teach Food at KS4 being desirable. 

The strength of the Technology faculty is the breadth of the courses and opportunities offered to pupils at KS3 – KS5.  All KS3 pupils study Design Technology and Food/Textiles each week, working through topics that encompass Resistant Materials, CAD/CAM, Food & Nutrition and Textile designers and techniques.  It would also be desirable if you had some understanding and experience of TechSoft 2D Design and 3D modelling software.

At KS4, we offer GCSEs in OCR Food Preparation and Nutrition, AQA Art & Design – Textiles, AQA Design Technology as well as BTEC Construction.  We also currently offer A-Levels in AQA Product Design and AQA Art & Design – Textiles.  

The ideal candidate will be able to operate within a dynamic and forward-thinking team who are focused on developing exciting and engaging learning experiences for students across the 11-18 age range.  You must have a passion for Technology, together with the knowledge and skills to inspire and motivate our students. 

Applications are welcomed from teachers at all career stages, and if you require any further information about the role or would like to organise a visit to the Academy, please contact Stephanie Hobbs (Head of Faculty) on shobbs@rushcliffespencer.org.uk
