Protocol Education is working with a welcoming, forward-thinking secondary school who are looking for a Design and Technology Teacher to join their established department after Easter.
This role would suit an experienced DT specialist ready for a fresh chapter, or an Early Career Teacher keen to grow in a school that genuinely supports its staff. Either way, you won’t be left to muddle through on your own.
You’ll be part of a department where ideas are shared openly, small wins are celebrated properly, and support actually means something. Whether you’re sharpening your practice or building classroom confidence, there are clear systems in place so you can focus on what really matters, delivering great lessons that stick.
The role
You’ll teach engaging Design and Technology across KS3 and KS4, helping students develop creativity, resilience, and practical problem-solving skills. The curriculum is broad, well thought out, and gives you the chance to lean into your specialism wherever possible.
You’ll be:
• Planning and delivering high-quality DT lessons that bring projects to life
• Creating a classroom culture where students feel confident to experiment and learn from mistakes
• Using a range of teaching strategies and tools to keep learning purposeful and hands-on
• Adapting lessons to meet the needs of all learners
• Tracking progress and using assessment to guide next steps
• Working closely with colleagues to keep teaching consistent, creative, and ambitious
• Promoting strong behaviour for learning and building respectful, positive relationships
What we’re looking for
• UK QTS, or working towards it if you’re an ECT
• A genuine passion for practical learning and Design and Technology
• Strong relationship-building skills with both students and colleagues
• A reflective approach and the drive to keep developing
• High expectations and a commitment to inclusive education
What you’ll get through Protocol Education
• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
• FREE access to our online CPD Academy
• Support from a dedicated local consultant who actually answers the phone
• Roles in schools that match your values and teaching style
• A smooth, straightforward registration process
If you’re an ECT, this is a brilliant opportunity to start your career in a department that understands mentoring, structure, and steady confidence-building. If you’re experienced, it’s a chance to bring your expertise to a school that genuinely values what you do.
