St Peter's is an oversubscribed school, known as a high performing school and nationally recognised for our approaches to character education. Our most recent Ofsted inspection ('Good' November 2019 and SIAMS inspection ('Excellent' May 2019) indicate the significant progress we have made in developing well rounded students who 'live life to the full'. As a Beacon School, Relational and Restorative Approaches are key to how we educate for a wise, courageous and compassionate community.

We are seeking to appoint a Design Technology Technician to provide technical and administrative support for the Design Technology Subject Learning Leader, working in a small friendly team

The Design Technology Technician department is a very popular department with good take-up for GCSE courses. The department is well resourced with modern and traditional equipment. There are 3D printers, a CAD suite, large laser cutter, metal work room, wood work room, food tech room and a dedicated staff office. This role will appeal to someone who is organised, a great team player wanting to support students and staff in the effective and efficient running of the department. Training will be offered for the right candidate. It will be crucial to have the ability to use and maintain tools and equipment. A First Aid Qualification and DATA qualification will be required to support the role.

Our students make working here a real pleasure, and as such we have high expectation for both our students and ourselves.

We offer:

• a welcoming and friendly team of excellent staff

A willingness and ability to offer time and energy to our wellbeing programme &/or extra-curricular provision (which we believe adds significant value to our character based approaches to education, including our Duke of Edinburgh and Ten Tors), will be taken into consideration for applications.

As a Church of England Aided School, in cases of equal merit preference will be given to candidates who are in sympathy with the foundation.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
