We are seeking an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher to join our Design & Technology department in a full-time maternity cover role starting April 2026.

The successful candidate will teach 3D Design to GCSE and A-Level students and deliver engaging, STEM-focused Design & Technology lessons to our Prep School pupils. You will work with pupils aged 5–18, introducing them to simple and complex machines, design constraints, and design modification, while exploring how engineering solves real-world problems and guiding pupils to apply their knowledge to create practical solutions.

We are looking for a collaborative team player with the creativity, energy, and passion of a designer or artist. Strong graphical and workshop skills, combined with a practical, problem-solving approach, are essential to help pupils achieve exceptional three-dimensional outcomes across all age groups.

Applications are welcome from newly qualified teachers, experienced educators, and individuals from creative or design backgrounds who are eager to contribute to the vibrant Creative Department of an established independent school.
