Are you practical, creative and passionate about supporting hands-on learning in Art, Design and Food Technology? Join our friendly ADT team at The Grammar School at Leeds!
The role
In this varied and rewarding role, you’ll help prepare materials and equipment for lessons, maintain our specialist rooms and stores, and support colleagues and students in practical sessions, particularly within Food Technology. You’ll play a key part in ensuring lessons run smoothly, safely and creatively, helping to bring ideas to life in a dynamic and inspiring environment.
We’re looking for someone who is organised, proactive and enjoys working in a team. You’ll need good communication skills, an eye for detail and a willingness to learn. Skills in photography would be advantageous. Previous technician experience is helpful but not essential — enthusiasm and a “can-do” approach are just as important.
You’ll be joining a collaborative and welcoming department, supporting our Art, Design and Technology subjects across the school. You’ll also help maintain displays, manage stock and contribute to open days and events.
At GSAL, we pride ourselves on being a friendly, supportive and innovative school. We were named North Independent School of the Year 2024 and Independent School of the Decade 2021, reflecting our commitment to excellence in all we do, including how we support our colleagues.
