Cardinal Griffin Catholic College

Teacher of Design and Technology (Full Time)

The rate of pay will be Main Pay Scale / Upper Pay Scale

A very rare vacancy for a Teacher of Design and Technology (part time can be considered) has arisen at Cardinal Griffin Catholic College to join us September 2021.

The Governors of the College are seeking an exceptional and outstanding teacher of Design and Technology to work within our expanding DTACS team. The right candidate will be ambitious, positive, highly professional and absolutely committed to ensuring that students achieve great outcomes and enjoy Design and Technology.

In return candidates can expect:

• Supportive and hardworking colleagues committed to going the extra mile for pupils;

• Training, development and support appropriate to their career stage;

• To be part of a College with a strong Catholic ethos and well-behaved pupils.

It is important that the successful candidate is a good fit in our team of staff, and so they may be highly experienced or just starting out on their teaching journey, what matters to us is their passion for teaching, strength as a classroom practitioner and love of their subject area. 

NQT’s who can demonstrate the potential to be outstanding teachers are encouraged to apply.

The College encourages applications from those of the Catholic faith, but it is not a barrier to appointment if candidates do not have that faith background provided they support the ethos of the College. We are extremely proud of our ethos which comes in very large part from our Jesuit Associate School membership and Catholic Diocesan heritage. This teaches us to be grateful for the gift of teaching that we have and to be generous in using it for the good of our pupils. 

Given the current circumstances surrounding Covid19, it is likely interviews will be managed differently to our normal process and interviews will be online via MS Teams.

Closing date for applications is 9am, 24^th May 2021; although the College reserves the right to interview as soon as it has a suitable field of candidates and so encourages early applications.

Interviews will take place 26^th May 2021.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people/vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

This position is subject to a criminal records check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB) which will require you to disclose details of all unspent and unfiltered spent reprimands, formal warnings cautions and convictions in your application form.
