2 weeks ago
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivating Design & Technology teacher to join our dynamic teaching team. The position is part-time (0.8FTE) with a potential for full-time hours if the successful candidate can assist in other areas.
- Department Details
The department includes two full-time and one part-time teachers, along with a full-time technician. Staff are expected to teach a wide range of age groups, covering SQA National 5, Higher, and AQA A-Level. Continuous professional development is encouraged through internal training and external courses.
- Curriculum and Organization
Classes from P7 and S1 have one period a week in the department, increasing to 3 periods every two weeks in S2, when students choose their N5 subjects. Current offerings include Design & Manufacture and Practical Woodwork. In the upcoming year, there will be three S3 classes (two for Design & Manufacture, one for Practical Woodwork) and two S4 classes (both for Design & Manufacture).
In post-16, we teach SQA Higher Design & Manufacture in S5 and AQA A-level Product Design in S6. Additionally, we provide an NPA in Jewellery during the senior years.
- Enrichment/Co-Curricular Activities
Besides regular classes, many students choose to work on projects and assignments in the department outside of school hours. We also participate in the F1 in Schools international STEM competition, with three teams aiming for the Scottish Final this year.
- Accommodation and Resources
The department features two classrooms, well-equipped workshops, and a fully furnished Jewellery/Silversmithing Studio. The technician works in a dedicated room within the workshop area and is an integral part of the team. Staff are provided with a personal iPad and computer in the shared office space. Additionally, we have a comfortable staff base separate from the main staffroom.
