About this Role

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and talented Teacher of Design Technology to join our forward-thinking and well-resourced department from September 2025. This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated teacher to contribute to the continued success of Design and Technology at Habs, working within a collaborative and high-achieving team.

About the Department

Design and Technology is a thriving and popular subject at Habs, taught by a team of five specialist teachers and supported by a full-time technician. The subject is delivered from our outstanding Design Centre, which includes:

• Three large workshops and two multi-purpose rooms.
• Extensive access to departmental laptops and software.
• Cutting-edge facilities including a waterjet cutter, CNC mill, four laser cutters, a CNC router, and eight 3D printers.
• Well-equipped areas for CAD, electronics, and engineering.

Pupils enjoy a wide-ranging and hands-on curriculum, and many go on to compete in national competitions such as VEX Robotics, F1 in Schools, and Greenpower Racing. The department also supports several students each year in gaining Arkwright Scholarships.

The Design and Technology curriculum is broad, modern and ambitious:

• In Years 7 and 8, students engage with topics including sustainability, robotics, inclusive design, and mechanics.
• In Year 9, pupils build strong foundations for the OCR GCSE Design and Technology course.
• At A Level, we offer pathways in Product Design and Design Engineering, both of which are highly subscribed.

The department places a strong emphasis on technical skills, creative thinking, and iterative design processes. Staff work collaboratively to share resources and continually refine the curriculum.

The Role

As a Teacher of Design and Technology, you will:

Teaching & Learning

• Plan and deliver engaging, challenging lessons across Key Stages 3 to 5.
• Inspire a love of design, problem-solving and innovation in your students.
• Support learners of all abilities to progress and achieve their potential.
• Use assessment effectively to inform teaching and provide meaningful feedback.
• Promote excellent behaviour, effort and curiosity in the classroom.

About You

We’re seeking a teacher who:

• Is passionate about design and committed to high standards of teaching.
• Has strong subject knowledge and the ability to teach across all key stages.
• Is reflective, organised and committed to professional growth.
• Enjoys working collaboratively as part of a team.
• Brings energy, enthusiasm and a sense of humour to the classroom.

Whether you're an experienced teacher or at an earlier stage of your career, we would love to hear from you. We offer a supportive environment, outstanding facilities, and a genuine commitment to staff development and wellbeing.
