The Opportunity Are you a creative problem-solver with a passion for turning ideas into reality? Can you inspire students to bridge the gap between imagination and industry in one of the world’s most famous hubs of engineering and innovation? We are seeking a dynamic and technically skilled Design & Technology (D&T) Teacher to join a forward-thinking department in Manchester . As the birthplace of the industrial revolution and a modern leader in "Industry 4.0," Manchester provides an unparalleled backdrop for teaching design. We are looking for an educator who can master traditional workshop skills while leading the way in digital manufacturing and sustainable design. Core Responsibilities Curriculum Delivery: Planning and facilitating high-quality D&T lessons across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 , with the opportunity to lead A-Level Product Design or Fashion & Textiles for qualified candidates. Workshop Leadership: Providing expert instruction in the safe use of hand tools, machinery, and materials (woods, metals, and polymers), ensuring a rigorous culture of health and safety. CAD/CAM Innovation: Integrating modern technology into the design process, including 2D Design, SolidWorks, or Autodesk Fusion 360 , alongside 3D printing and laser cutting. GCSE & A-Level Preparation: Guiding students through the Non-Exam Assessment (NEA) process, supporting them from initial design briefs and iterative prototyping to high-quality final manufactured products. Sustainable Design: Teaching students to consider the environmental impact of their work, focusing on the "6 Rs," material life cycles, and ethical manufacturing processes. Pastoral Care: Serving as a dedicated Form Tutor, fostering a supportive community and monitoring the academic and personal development of a specific group of learners. Why This School? Manchester’s Industrial Heritage: Work in a city that celebrates "making," offering unique opportunities for links with local universities, design studios, and global engineering firms. Well-Resourced Facilities: Benefit from a school that invests in its creative suites, offering a blend of traditional heavy-machinery workshops and high-spec digital "MakerSpaces." A Culture of Innovation: Join a department that values the "iterative design process," where students are encouraged to prototype, test, and refine their ideas in a professional studio environment. Professional Growth: Access to specialist CPD in Health & Safety (DATA) certification , Advanced CAD/CAM techniques , and pathways toward Head of Technology or Director of STEAM . Candidate Profile Qualifications: Must hold QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and a degree in Design & Technology, Product Design, Engineering, or a related field. Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are warmly encouraged to apply. Technical Versatility: A high level of competence across multiple material areas and a strong understanding of modern manufacturing processes. Inspirational Pedagogy: The ability to make complex technical drawing and theory—such as forces, stresses, and electronics—accessible and exciting for all students. Character: A resilient, reflective, and collaborative professional who is passionate about equipping students with the practical skills needed for the future economy.
