Job description

We are seeking to appoint an ambitious, innovative Teacher of Design and Technology to cover a colleague's maternity leave.

It is an exciting time to join the Design and Technology Department for several reasons. Already well established with high standards of teaching and learning at Key stage 3 and 4, and a commitment to an innovative approach, we have recently expanded the department due to the growth of the school and an anticipated sixth form. We are looking to appoint an ambitious and innovative Design and Technology teacher with a willingness to teach across all areas of the curriculum. We enjoy new workshops, computer rooms and classrooms with excellent facilities, equipment and resources in each. Our pupils are courteous and eager to learn, and they engage very well with our Key Stage 3 Design and Technology curriculum. At Key Stage 4 students have the option to study OCR GCSE (1-9) Design and Technology, Cambridge National in Engineering Manufacture or AQA Food and Nutrition.

We are open to teachers of all specialisms and would welcome some KS5 experience.

The Design and Technology Department team is highly supportive and has worked with NQTs successfully over the last seven years, providing experienced and dedicated mentoring. We also work with the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, to support PGCE students on placement at Cambourne Village College.

Cambourne Village College is an Ofsted 'Outstanding' rated, over-subscribed secondary school, eight miles from Cambridge. We opened as part of the Cam Academy Trust in September 2013. Our ethos is aspirational and inclusive, our staff is highly motivated, our pupils courteous and hard-working, and we have excellent facilities. A 350 place sixth form opened in September 2024, and we have capacity for 175 students in each of Years 12 and 13. Joining Cambourne Village College represents a unique opportunity to work in a newly established school within a wider, high-quality Academy Trust that gives excellent possibilities for professional and career development.
