Job description

Overview

Passionate about Design & Technology? So are they. And they’re ready to welcome someone just like you.

We’re working with a lively secondary school in Birmingham that’s all about high standards, bold ambitions, and teaching that makes an impact. From day one, you’ll join a place where students are curious, behaviour is strong, and teachers are trusted to focus on teaching—not tied up in red tape.

This is more than just a teaching role. It’s a chance to spark creativity, build problem-solvers, and help students see the value of design in shaping their world. And you’ll be part of a school that genuinely CARES (yes, it’s an acronym, and they live by it).

What’s on offer

• A permanent D&T role starting September 2025
• Pupils who enjoy hands-on learning and thrive on practical challenge
• A supportive, collaborative team (shared planning = less workload)
• Leadership that values innovation as much as outcomes
• Development opportunities across a growing multi-academy trust

Who they’re looking for

You’re a confident D&T teacher (or an ECT ready to shine) who believes in the power of design to change lives. Whether it’s resistant materials, graphics, or food tech, you make lessons engaging, purposeful, and memorable. High expectations don’t scare you, they motivate you.

Extra credit if you’ve got fresh ideas for clubs, STEM projects, or creative builds that give students a reason to stay after the bell.

You’ll need

• UK QTS (or equivalent)
• Strong subject knowledge and a passion for Design & Technology
• A commitment to high-quality teaching that sticks
• A willingness to grow (and maybe step into leadership in time)

Why go with Protocol Education?

• Weekly PAYE pay (no umbrella faff)
• Free access to our CPD Academy
• A dedicated consultant who’s with you all the way
• Long-term roles in schools that match your values
• Quick, friendly registration process
