Teacher of Design and Technology (Inc Construction)

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher who is able to share in the teaching of Design & Technology at Key Stage 3 (across all specialisms), and has the ability to teach GCSE/BTEC in either Construction or Design and Technology. A willingness to teach some element of KS3 Art would also be beneficial.

Belper School and Sixth Form Centre is an exceptional place. We combine strong academic standards, a rich & inspirational curriculum, and a caring & supportive ethos to provide the best education we can for our wonderful students. We also like to think we are a great place to work, and Ofsted agreed. (“Staff are happy and proud to work at the school. Leaders are considerate of staff’s workload and well-being” OFSTED, 2022)

Our vision is encapsulated in the phrase “Create Your Future. Be who you are and become who you aspire to be” and this vision guides our educational direction. We want to provide our students with the qualifications, knowledge, and skills they need to have happy and successful lives. We know that our students leave Belper well prepared to thrive as adults and we are proud of what our alumni achieve; from international athletes, to space engineers, from creative professionals, to self-employed entrepreneurs and much, much more. To provide the best education we can, we understand how important it is to recruit, retain and invest in our staff. We see our school as one community of families, students, teaching staff, support staff, leadership staff, and governors all working together.

This position would be suitable for an Early Career Teacher for whom there would be ample opportunity to develop professional skills within our highly supportive Induction, CPD and Early Career Framework programmes.
