The role of Designer in Residence at Christ’s Hospital is a transformative addition to the staffing of The Doyle School of Design Technology. It is an opportunity for a Design/Engineering Graduate who has potential interest in education to spend a year gaining experience in the sector whilst developing their own projects that contribute to our pupils understanding of the commercial design world.
This one year fixed term appointment, commencing in late August 2024, would be ideal as a sandwich/placement year or postgraduates who are studying/have studied a degree within a relevant field.
The Designer in Residence works alongside the existing team of four full-time Design Technology staff, assisting them in the delivery and development of this highly successful and popular subject.
The main elements to which the Designer in Residence will contribute are in the support and extension of ambition in design, creativity and engineering of examination year pupils. This will occur in timetabled lessons alongside the allocated teachers, presence in two evening support sessions we already run and small group design tutorials.
The Designer in Residence will also teach some Junior group lessons each week, with mentoring and training to support them in that role.All meals during term-time when on duty are provided as part of the package and there is accommodation on site available. The salary will bepaid across the whole contract.
