Deputy Curriculum Lead: Design & Technology and Food & Nutrition
Salary: MPS + TLR 2b
Full time, permanent
Required from September 2026
We wish to appoint a deputy curriculum lead within the Design & Technology & Food department. This role is about assisting in the leadership and development of the curriculum area and whilst the specific area of responsibility will be shaped around the specialism of the successful candidate, it is important that the person in this role is able and willing to not only teach both design technology and food & nutrition but also to assist in its leadership. This role will involve working on the development of the curriculum as well as monitoring and evaluating its implementation and impact.
The successful applicant will understand that this is a leadership role and is therefore about the leadership and collaboration with others across the team to support curriculum development.
We offer an environment where our teachers are respected and trusted as professionals. We allow teachers autonomy in the decisions they make for the students in their classrooms, supported by a culture of teacher development and training. Collective Endeavour is how we ensure the greatest experience for our students. Teachers in our school immediately become part of strong departmental teams with regular collaborative planning where subject experts have the opportunity to develop pedagogy and curriculum together. We strongly believe that autonomy and collaboration allow our staff to achieve true professional joy.
We are a truly inclusive school and for us social justice and providing all of our students with the knowledge and skills to allow them to have a voice and achieve their goals is really important; the most for those that need the most. This is echoed throughout our school with a real commitment to the wellbeing and success of our staff and students. If you think this aligns with your values, then we would love to hear from you.
