We have an exciting opportunity for a Design & Technology Technician to join our existing team of two technicians. The successful candidate will provide practical and technical support specifically within our 3D Design workshop. This role is due to commence in November 2026.

The curriculum is planned and delivered in a way to foster this as the projects equip the students with a variety of skills to help them become expert designers and makers. All of this culminates in the positive exam results the students regularly achieve.

The Design & Technology Department has five purpose-built rooms, five teaching staff and three technicians. The dedicated staff all work together as a team and support each other through the sharing of good practice. The teaching team are qualified specialists in their field and teach across all the key stages.
