Job description

Studio West is an exciting studio school, which opened in September 2014. As part of Northern Leaders Trust, Studio West cater for around 550 students aged between 11 and 19 with student numbers increasing year on year. We are expected to reach 650 at full capacity. Rated “Good” by Ofsted, Studio West offers students an innovative and bespoke curriculum with an emphasis on employability and life skills. We have close working relationships with our business partners and our mission is to make sure that every student who leaves Studio West, does so with a university place, an apprenticeship or employment.

We are currently seeking applications for the role of Technology Technician, to support within our multi-skilled department team in the setting up and dismantling of equipment and resources, ordering and maintaining stocks and supplies and where necessary supporting in practical Technology and Construction lessons.

We are seeking candidates with excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to work well with both children and adults. A knowledge of health and safety with the ability to carry out risk assessments is essential.

Whilst the role will involve supporting all Technology lessons, a large proportion of working time will be spent working within Resistant Materials and Construction, therefore a relevant qualification and/or experience working in either discipline would be desirable.

If you have the skills, commitment and enthusiasm to succeed in this role, we want to hear from you.

In return we can offer you,

• Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

• Salary sacrifice schemes such as cycle to work and car leasing scheme (NHS Fleet Solutions)

• Access to free gym facilities on our Kenton School site.

• Access to a range of health and wellbeing initiatives.

• The opportunity to work in a fantastically resourced school with easy commuting access to both the A1 and A19 and free on-site parking.

  If sufficient applications are received we reserve the right to close the vacancy at an earlier date
