If you're someone who enjoys making, building, fixing and working with practical equipment, this could be an excellent next step.
An Outstanding Ofsted-rated secondary school in Brent is recruiting a DT Technician to support its Design & Technology Department from October 2026.
Rather than being purely administrative, this is a genuinely hands-on position. You’ll be involved in preparing practical work, looking after workshop equipment and helping teachers create an effective environment for students to develop their practical skills.
A Typical Week Could Include
-
Preparing materials and equipment for upcoming lessons
-
Setting up machinery and practical workspaces
-
Supporting students and teachers during practical sessions
-
Maintaining tools and specialist DT equipment
-
Keeping workshops tidy and properly organised
-
Checking machinery and reporting faults
-
Managing stock and ordering materials
-
Ensuring equipment is stored correctly
-
Supporting the department with health and safety
Experience
We’re open to candidates from a range of practical backgrounds. Previous experience as a DT Technician is ideal, but experience in engineering, manufacturing, carpentry, product design, construction or a similar technical environment could also be relevant.
You should be confident using workshop equipment, take safety seriously and be able to manage your own workload effectively.
