Teacher of Design and Technology

Teacher of Design and Technology
Permanent/full time
To start September 2026
MPS/UPS plus TLR2B

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, dynamic and ambitious teacher of Design & Technology to join our well established and successful Applied Learning and Technology Faculty. The post would suit an experienced teacher who is committed to teaching at the highest standard and capable of raising the aspirations and achievements of our students.

In the Applied Learning and Technology Faculty we have an excellent KS3 curriculum and currently offer OCR Child Development and WJEC Hospitality and Catering in KS4. Both of which are very popular and achieve excellent results. The faculty is staffed by experienced, supportive specialist staff and we are fortunate to have regular student teachers in Food and Design and Technology on placement from Worcester University and through other providers. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience of teaching GCSE Design Technology or an equivalent vocational KS4 qualification to bring their experience to a new setting and work alongside the Head of Faculty to shape our KS4 curriculum.

Oldbury Academy values Design and Technology and we are a well-resourced faculty with two Technicians in Design and Technology and one in Food. We are in the process of updating our CAD/CAM equipment to support the delivery of the new qualification and are looking to recruit a qualified teacher of Design and Technology with a specialism in Wood, Metal, Electronics, Graphics or Product Design.

For an informal discussion please contact Miss Jude Hammersley (Head of Faculty) jude.hammersley@oldburyacademy.org.uk
