Job description

Job overview

Warlingham School is different — and our Design and Technology department is something we are genuinely proud of.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of talented, creative, and hugely experienced teachers who love what they do.

Between us, we offer an incredible breadth of specialisms — Product Design, Textiles and Food Technology — making Design and Technology at Warlingham one of the most vibrant and diverse departments you will find.

This post is suitable for both ECTs and more experienced colleagues. We offer unrivalled ECT support with an extensive induction process and support through our external partners Xavier and Teach First.

Our curriculum gives students the chance to explore design from every angle, and our staff the freedom to teach with passion. We have a large student uptake at both GCSE and A level and constantly achieve amazing results with outstanding value added; but what really makes Warlingham unique is the people.

• A staffroom where wellbeing is not a buzzword but a lived reality.
• A team who will have your back, share ideas, and bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.
• A school community where you will be trusted, supported, and valued as a professional.

We are looking for someone with a passion for Design and Technology (any subject specialism), to inspire both students and colleagues, and bring their own creativity into the mix.

We strongly encourage visits to the school to see what makes us different!

If you are ready to make your mark and join a school that genuinely puts staff happiness and collaboration first — we would love to hear from you.

Please note that applications will be considered upon receipt. Early applications are encouraged as we reserve the right to close the recruitment process once a suitable candidate is appointed.
