Design Technology Teacher

An improving school in East Oldham is seeking a Design and Technology teacher with a specialism in Resistant Materials, Product Design or Engineering. The school has invested in its D&T provision over the last two years and now boasts upgraded workshops, laser cutters, 3D printers, and CAD/CAM software that allows students to explore design principles at every level.
