Job Description

It is an exciting time at Becket Keys Church of England School (Outstanding, 2014). We are working hard to build upon the exam successes of our founding cohorts, whilst also establishing our new 6th Form into its sixth year.

We are seeking a Design Technology teacher to join our small team to teach across the key stages. This is an exciting opportunity for a confident colleague who wants to play a significant role in this important and successful subject. Your application should demonstrate a strong track record of examination success. However, the Russell Education Trust offers a wealth of support and expertise to help you in this role, regardless of recent exam board experience.

You will work closely with the Head of Design Technology and benefit from his guidance and experience. There will also be plenty of opportunities to bring your own ideas and creativity to the role. We would be pleased to see how our candidates would seek to develop a curriculum that emphasises the many and numerous contributions made to STEM from the UK and around the World and how students can expect an enriched career by entering this field.

The appointee will be committed to our high expectations and core values - we welcome applications from teachers irrespective of their faith or belief. However, we ask for applicants to appreciate and respect the beliefs of others and have strong moral principles.

Staff of the school benefit from priority admission for their children. Our admissions policy effectively guarantees staff a place in the school for their children. With over 800 applications for our 150 places each year, this is a significant perk! In addition, staff will be provided with a comprehensive induction programme and laptop, childcare vouchers are available, and childcare is available at a neighbouring provision with discounted rates for staff members.
