Contribute to our inclusive, trauma-informed school culture
What We’re Looking For:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS or QTLS)
Experience delivering DT in a school or vocational setting
Strong skills in hand tools, basic circuits, and digital design platforms
A calm, relational approach to behaviour and classroom management
Creativity, patience, and a genuine belief in second chances
