We are seeking to appoint a Temporary Teacher of Art & Design (Textiles) on a part-time (0.8 FTE) temporary basis to commence as soon as possible and cover maternity leave. The role will be temporary from 2nd November 2026 to 31st October 2027, or the return of the substantive postholder, whichever is the sooner.
The role is paid on the Teacher Scale, currently £33,456 - £51,714 per annum FTE / £26,764 - £41,372 per annum pro-rata.
Art & Design is part of a wider curriculum cluster with Film and Media Studies, led by a Curriculum Leader. The subject area comprises Art, Graphics, Photography and Textiles and consists of six specialist teachers, supported by the Art and Design Assistant.
Holy Cross is one of the largest A Level Art departments in Britain, with over 450 students currently studying GCSE and A Levels in Art, Graphics, Photography and Textiles this academic year. Linked to a series of very large off-site exhibitions, in recent years its students have attained some of the highest examination results in the country. The core values of the Department involve combining ideas with materials, through hard work, inspirational resources and a deep passion for all aspects of Art & Design. The belief that art is a life-affirming, life-changing, learnable, teachable, intellectual and unbelievably exciting way to look at the world is central to our philosophy. It is through the content and context of art and design that the Department develops ideas for its Teaching Learning and Assessment. New ideas are juxtaposed, shared, combined and integrated. Art is always the focus.
We currently offer AQA A Level Art, Craft & Design, A Level Graphic Communication, Textile Design and Photography as well as AQA GCSE Graphic Communication and Photography.
We are seeking to appoint an innovative, enthusiastic and hardworking teacher, with a passion for Art & Design (Textiles), to join our successful team.

The students' work is at the centre of everything within the Department, with support for the personal and diverse nature of this work being key to all decision-making. The Department, and more widely the College, remain committed to getting the very best from its staff and students and there are frequent training opportunities allowing staff to update their skills and knowledge.
The Department received an SFCA award recently for innovative practices and exceptional achievement.
