Job overview
We require a committed and inspiring teacher to lead Three-Dimensional Design. You should have excellent practical skills and experience of working in a range of materials and processes including CAD/CAM.
The subject has recently transitioned from Design and Technology to Art and Design Three-Dimensional Design, so this may be a suitable role for someone with previous experience in either of these disciplines.
