Design Technology Teacher

An ambitious and inclusive secondary school in North Tyneside is looking for a passionate and dedicated Design Technology Teacher to join the team this September.

This is a school where creativity, innovation, and high achievement are encouraged across every subject. Staff work together to create a calm and purposeful learning environment where students are challenged to think independently, solve real-world problems, and develop practical skills that prepare them for future study and employment. Teachers are supported through excellent CPD and a collaborative departmental culture.

Whether you're an experienced Design Technology Teacher or an ECT looking for the right school to begin your career, this could be an excellent opportunity.

North Tyneside
£168.80 – £261.77 per day (PAYE)
Full-Time | September Start | Long-Term Opportunity with Permanent Potential

The Role

As a Design Technology Teacher, you will:

• Teach Design Technology across KS3 and KS4
• Deliver engaging practical and theory-based lessons
• Inspire creativity, innovation, and confident problem-solving
• Support students to design, make, test, and evaluate a range of products
• Maintain a safe, organised, and inclusive workshop environment
• Work collaboratively within a successful Design Technology department

You'll be joining a department that encourages students to develop practical skills, technical knowledge, and confidence through hands-on learning experiences.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Supportive leadership team and collaborative staff culture
• High expectations with excellent pastoral support
• Well-equipped workshops and quality teaching resources
• Strong commitment to professional development and career progression
• Clear behaviour systems that allow teachers to focus on teaching
• Long-term opportunity with potential for a permanent role

This is the kind of school where teachers are encouraged to innovate, share best practice, and inspire the next generation of designers, engineers, and creators.

We're Looking For

• Qualified Design Technology Teachers
• Teachers with experience in Product Design, Resistant Materials, Engineering, Graphics, or a related specialism are encouraged to apply
• ECTs looking for a supportive start to their teaching career

• Teachers who can inspire creativity, independence, and practical learning
• Educators who build positive relationships and maintain high expectations
