Job description

We are seeking an experienced Product Design Technician to help support the practical needs of LEH’s Product Design department. The ideal candidate will have proven experience of digital and traditional manufacturing using a range of materials. It would be advantageous to have an understanding of current Design and Technology curriculum requirements.

The successful candidate will be a highly organised and adaptable person who can work independently to maintain a safe, well-equipped workshop environment and provide technical and practical support to students and teaching staff.

What we offer:

• LEH is a thriving school situated on a 24-acre site southwest of London. It has a vibrant and diverse community, and LEH students are renowned for their academic prowess as well as their success across an extraordinarily wide range of co-curricular activities, including sport, music, and drama.
• We have state-of-the-art facilities, and we encourage staff to make the most of the school’s swimming pool, tennis courts, free lunches, on-site parking, and library services.
• A list of our attractive range of benefits can be found on our website.

The closing date is noon on Wednesday, 23rd September 2026.

Interviews to take place in week commencing 28th September 2026.

All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach. In addition, all staff will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving around the School. In all cases, the post holder’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s safeguarding policies and procedures at all times.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Lady Eleanor Holles is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
