Teacher of Design Technology (suitable for ECT or an experienced teacher)

We are looking for an ambitious and enthusiastic teacher who has high expectations and continuously strives for the best outcomes. We are offering an exciting opportunity to join The Hamble School during a period of rapid improvement and change. Our vision ‘We Care, We Aim High, We Learn and Achieve Together’ encapsulates the work we do every day. Our intake numbers are increasing – we currently have 1170 students and are looking to expand our staffing further.

The Technology Department consists of a dedicated team of experienced staff. It is well-resourced with a number of specialist workshops, a kitchen and designated technicians. Our aim is to deliver an inspiring and challenging curriculum which includes practical and theory skills. At GCSE, option numbers are high and students currently study the AQA specification for Design Technology, Eduqas for Food Preparation and Nutrition and NCFE for Engineering.

We are seeking to appoint a talented and enthusiastic Design Technology teacher who has experience of teaching Food preparation and nutrition where possible but this is not essential. The Design Technology Team work closely together, share best practice and support each other to drive the department to continually improve the outcomes for our students. A colleague who is motivated and innovative would be the perfect addition to ‘Team Hamble’. This role would suit both experienced teachers and ECTs.

In return, we can offer you:

• a positive and optimistic working environment focused on staff well-being, student welfare, progress and high standards of achievement and behaviour;

• Strong internal (Middle Leader/ELT or ECT programmes are available) and external training development opportunities (we are part of PiXL, have strong ties with local school consortia and we support staff to complete NPQs);

• personal career development to assist you in the fulfilment of your ambitions;

• a well-equipped campus with excellent gym and swimming facilities run by Everyone Active which staff can take advantage of for free. Access to leisure and sports classes at heavily discounted membership rates and preferential rates for family members;

• the opportunity to apply for discounted childcare placements with Hamble Early Years Centre which is based directly next to the school;

• free on-site parking and good local public transport links to the school (bus/ rail).
