Job description

Are you an innovative educator ready to move beyond the traditional "same-same" tech rotation?

Rosehill Intermediate School is a proud host technology provider delivering dynamic, hands-on learning to creative intermediate students across our local client schools. We are seeking a passionate, forward-thinking specialist to join our collaborative technology team in a 0.4 permanent position (2 days per week).

Our technology suite is fully equipped to spark curiosity and problem-solving. While our established team covers digital fabrication (3D printing, laser cutting, coding) and traditional hard materials (timber), we are looking for a creative educator to bring fresh variety and new dimensions to our programme.

What makes this role exciting?

• Diverse metalwork: Take advantage of our fully equipped workshop, fitted for metalwork, cold/hot joining, casting, or mixed-media engineering.
• Curriculum freedom: Collaborate with our full-time team to design engaging, project-based learning modules that blend modern manufacturing techniques with traditional hands-on skills.
• Impactful teaching: Inspire Year 7 & 8 client school students as they discover design thinking, material properties, and practical craftsmanship.

Who we are looking for:

• a registered teacher with a strong foundation in hard materials, engineering, metal technology, or innovative product design
• a flexible teacher who thrives on variety and loves experimenting with new materials, techniques, and real-world design challenges
• a team player who communicates effectively with visiting client school staff and students.

Join a supportive, well-resourced department where fresh ideas are celebrated!
