Teacher of Design Technology

Design & Technology is where creativity meets purpose. It

empowers students to become problem-solvers, innovators, and makers, equipping

them with the skills to design, create, and improve the world around them. At

Don Valley our curriculum is ambitious, hands on, and rooted in real world

application. When taught with energy and imagination, Design & Technology

inspires students to think critically, take pride in their work, and develop

confidence in their ideas. We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed Design

Technology Teacher who can bring this vision to life; someone who sparks

creativity, nurtures curiosity, and helps every student realise their potential

as a designer and creator. In this role, you will deliver engaging,

challenging, and inspiring lessons across KS3 and KS4, bringing design concepts

to life through practical application and real-world contexts. Through

innovative teaching strategies, you will make complex processes accessible and

meaningful, while planning and assessing in line with the Oasis Curriculum to

drive strong student progress. You will foster a positive and inclusive

workshop environment where students feel confident to experiment, take risks,

and refine their ideas, uphold high expectations for achievement, behaviour,

and personal development, and actively contribute to enrichment opportunities

such as design projects, competitions, and external partnerships. Who You Are We are looking for a qualified teacher (QTS) with a genuine

passion for Design & Technology, who combines strong subject knowledge with

ability, and be dedicated to helping each individual succeed. As a reflective

practitioner, you will be committed to continuous professional development,

always seeking to refine your practice. You will also be a collaborative and

positive team player, thriving in a supportive environment and contributing

meaningfully to both the department and the wider academy community. Why You’ll Love Working With Us Oasis Academy Don Valley is a
