Job description

Drill Into Your Next Role with Tradewind Recruitment – Design Technology Supply Teachers Needed

Are you a qualified Design Technology teacher ready to saw, sand, solder, and sketch your way into a fresh challenge? Tradewind Recruitment is looking for hands‑on, creative, and adaptable DT supply teachers for short‑ and long‑term placements.

Whether you specialise in CAD/CAM, resistant materials, product design, or the nuts and bolts of engineering, we've got schools that need your know‑how.

Why Join Tradewind? Let’s Break It Down:

High‑Quality Pay – We believe your finely tuned skills deserve precision pay. Whether you're chiselling out ideas or modelling in CAD, you'll be well‑compensated.

Flexibility by Design – Like a modular project, you choose the components of your week. Full‑time, part‑time, or the occasional project – you control the blueprint.

Stay Local, Stay Sharp – No need to bolt across the region. We place teachers in secondary schools across Manchester so whether you're teaching construction in Chorlton, graphics in Gorton or resistant materials in Rusholme, your next role is right around the corner.

No Planning, No Marking, No Problem – Focus on the workshop floor, not the paperwork pile. You deliver the creativity; we take care of the rest.

Cut Stress, Not Corners – With no take‑home work, your evenings are yours to recharge, just like a cordless drill at the end of the day.

Holiday Pay Options – Choose how you bank your break time. Pay as you go or save it for a full reset during the school holidays.

Blueprint for Permanent Work – Supply work can lead to direct contracts. Start with short‑term fixes and end with a long‑term build.

Reliable Payroll, Engineered In‑House – Our payroll runs like a well‑oiled machine – all handled by our London‑based team. No offshore systems or third‑party hiccups.

Upgrade Your Skill Set – Access over 2,500 CPD courses through The National College. From laser cutters to leadership, stay sharp and up to spec.

Smooth Admin Process – Our online portal makes managing availability and timesheets as easy as clicking “save as.”

You’ll Need to Bring:

• QTS or QTLS
• Enhanced DBS Disclosure (we can help with this)
• Overseas Police Clearance (if applicable)
• A full CV with education and employment history
• Legal right to work in the UK

Your Next Role is Ready to Assemble

Whether you're routing materials, modelling prototypes, or inspiring the next generation of makers and doers, there's a DT classroom waiting for your spark.
