Technology teacher

We are seeking two exceptional Technology teachers with the energy, passion and creativity to teach in the Secondary phase of our thriving All-Through school. These vacancies have arisen due to our current Head of Faculty relocating and increased curriculum time next academic year for these vital subject areas. Overall we are recruiting for the equivalent of 1.6 teachers, and are very flexible with how this might work in the timetable with full or part time hours.

DT, Food and Art are a combined faculty at CFS and we already have in post strong practitioners with experience and skill sets across all three disciplines. Looking ahead to next year, our current priority needs are specifically in Design Technology and/or Food & Nutrition, but Art specialists with the ability to teach across the disciplines are also warmly invited to apply. This is an extremely exciting time for the department; there is a vacancy for a new Head of Faculty, but with the department's continued growth has also come the opportunity for Subject Leads in the three subject areas. There is, therefore, the opportunity for one or more of the successful candidates to receive a TLR – either for Head of Faculty, Subject Lead of Art, DT or Food, or indeed for other wider school responsibilities. If you have a desire to be considered for a TLR, this should be clearly indicated on the application form. We would welcome applications from ECT, Main Pay Scale or Upper Pay Scale teachers.

CFS is a vibrant, collaborative and forward thinking school for 4-16 year olds, where the personal development of our pupils is just as important as the academic curriculum. Our values of 'nurture, challenge and inspire' influence everything we do as a school, and genuinely permeate all areas of School life. If you are a strong practitioner who shares our values and ideals, we strongly encourage you to find out more about CFS via a visit to the school or through our school website

Whilst this is primarily a Secondary post, there is something extremely unique and special about working in an All-Through environment; the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work creatively with colleagues from both phases helping to develop a cohesive and truly progressive educational experience for all learners.

CFS follows national pay scales; this role would be equally suitable for an early career teacher or more experienced teacher. The Upper Pay Scale would be considered for the right candidates and on the agreement of a whole school responsibility in addition to the role outlined below.

Pay: MPS/UPS and TLR for suitable candidate/s

Hours: Full or Part Time
