Job overview
Are you a creative problem-solver with a passion for bringing ideas to life?
We are seeking a talented and versatile D&T Technician with a small element (approx 4 hours) of support within the Food Technology room, to join our innovative and dynamic department. It's an opportunity to be at the heart of our students' practical learning journey, turning concepts into creations.
In our workshops, you will be the engine that keeps things running smoothly. This role is perfect for a highly organised, hands-on individual who thrives on variety and can easily switch from ensuring food hygiene standards to maintaining workshop machinery.

Fuel Creativity: You will prepare and set up a wide range of materials and equipment for lessons across D&T, from woodwork and electronics to delicious culinary experiments.
You will conduct routine safety checks and maintenance on all equipment, acting as our departmental health and safety champion to ensure a secure environment for both staff and students.
You will take charge of managing stock, ordering supplies, and organising resources, ensuring that teachers and students have everything they need, exactly when they need it.
Innovate and Collaborate: You'll work closely with teaching staff and students, offering technical advice, assisting with demonstrations, and helping to bring ambitious projects to fruition.
Your work will support the development of our students' practical skills, helping to inspire the next generation of engineers, and designers and chefs.
What we are looking for
A practical, hands-on approach and a genuine enthusiasm for both D&T and some food preparation.
Strong knowledge of health and safety regulations in a workshop and kitchen setting.
Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to manage a busy, diverse workload.
Excellent communication skills and a team-player.
A 'can-do' attitude and the flexibility to adapt to changing priorities.
If you are ready to play an essential part in our school's creative and practical hub, we encourage you to apply.
Please note this role is mainly for DT technician with 4 x hours within the food technology department.

About Casterton College Rutland
Casterton College Rutland
Ryhall Road, Great Casterton, Stamford
Rutland
PE9 4AT
United Kingdom
Casterton College Rutland is a single academy in Great Casterton in the beautiful county of Rutland.
We have approximately 900 young people aged 11-16 and we are proud of our long record of success over many years. In 2021 we were in the top three schools for secondary school of the year and in 2017 we won an award for best maths department in England at the national teaching awards.
At Casterton we believe that ability is not fixed, so all young people are welcome. We have high expectations and high standards, but we build our school on a culture of care, kindness and compassion. Our staff turnover is low, and we pride ourselves on not being part of a MAT. Instead of a corporate feel we cultivate a community feel to our school and we want it to be a pleasure to teach or work here. Behaviour is good and based on a team of great staff who really care about our students and want the best for them. It makes for a lovely environment for both staff and young people alike.

Values and vision
Casterton College Rutland believes that whether students are budding actors, sports stars, scientists or politicians, the school has something to offer them. The academy thinks this broad, positive outlook is why its students have gone on to become national sports champions in judo, winners of major writing competitions, award-winning cooks and artists who sell their work professionally.
The secondary school also has a fantastic record in national maths challenges, cyber challenges as well as a track record in nurturing potential Olympians.
