Are you a multi-disciplinary innovator capable of bridging the gap between technical engineering, digital artistry, and nutritional science?
Are you seeking a permanent appointment within an ambitious Ipswich secondary school that values DT as a cornerstone of modern innovation?
We are seeking a rare and highly skilled Qualified DT Teacher (QTS) for a permanent position at our partner Secondary School in Ipswich. This role is designed for a "Modern Maker"-someone who can inspire students across the diverse spectrum of 3D Design, Photography, and Food Technology. If you are looking for a long-term career move where you can utilise your full creative arsenal in a well-resourced setting, this is your ideal next step.
Your Responsibilities
- 3D Design & Making: Plan and lead sessions in Resistant Materials and Product Design, focusing on structural integrity, material properties, and the transition from 2D sketching to 3D prototyping.
- Digital Photography: Deliver high-level Photography instruction, covering both technical camera settings (ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed) and creative post-production/editing techniques.
- Food Technology & Nutrition: Lead practical and theoretical lessons in Food, emphasising food safety, nutritional science, and the "chemistry" of cooking.
- GCSE/A-Level Delivery: Lead cohorts through their Non-Exam Assessment (NEA) and portfolios, providing expert feedback to ensure students meet the highest marking criteria.
- Workshop & Lab Safety: Maintain an impeccable standard of health and safety across three distinct environments (Workshop, Studio, and Kitchen), adhering to all DATA and school protocols.
- Cross-Curricular Innovation: Highlight the links between your subjects-such as the engineering in a camera lens or the chemical reactions in baking-to provide a holistic STEM education.
What You'll Bring to the Team
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Mandatory. A degree in Design & Technology, Art & Design, or a related vocational field.
- Technical Breadth: Demonstrated proficiency in using workshop machinery (CAD/CAM), digital editing software (Adobe Suite), and industrial kitchen equipment.
- Adaptable Pedagogy: The ability to switch teaching styles to suit different environments, from the high-energy workshop to the focused photography studio.
- Organizational Mastery: Excellence in managing diverse resources, stock levels, and student work across multiple creative disciplines.
- Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad).
Why Partner with Randstad?
- Permanent Security: This is a direct-hire permanent contract starting in September, offering full integration and long-term career stability.
- Specialist Advocacy: Work with Neeraj, your dedicated consultant, who understands that multi-disciplinary teachers are the "unicorns" of education and will negotiate a package that reflects your value.
- Ipswich Community: Join a school in a town undergoing significant educational investment, offering great facilities and a supportive professional network.
- Professional Growth: Access to free, certified CPD, including Health & Safety refreshers for the workshop and the kitchen.
- Referral Rewards: Earn a £300 voucher for every qualified teacher you successfully refer to our team!
