Teacher of Design and Technology

St Edmund's College is seeking to appoint a full-time, ambitious, and enthusiastic teacher of DT.

The subject is thriving, with a pupil recently awarded the prestigious Arkwright Scholarship.

Design and Technology is taught throughout the School, delivered to all students in Key Stage 3 and then as an option at GCSE and A Level. With small class sizes, DT is taught on the ground floor of the College in a spacious purpose-built workshop, and an adjacent supplementary classroom.

The department has many links with local industry and successful projects have been underpinned by working with outside professionals.

Applications from new entrants to the profession or from more experienced teachers are equally welcome.

The successful candidate will welcome the many opportunities to contribute to the lively extra-curricular life of the College, which is situated in rural East Hertfordshire. St Edmund's is England's oldest Catholic school offering an all-round co-education for students from 3 to 18 and for families from all faiths.

The post will involve close contact with, and a high degree of responsibility for, children and young adults. The majority of this will be regulated activity and as such an enhanced DBS check (which includes children's barred list information) will be required in advance of appointment.

If you would like to apply please complete an application.
