As a popular and successful school we are always excited to strengthen our staffing team and increase our curriculum choices for students.

As well as our popular GCSE Design Technology, Food Nutrition and A Level Product Design courses we offer Level 1 & 2 Engineering Design, Level 3 Engineering and a Level 3 Food course. We also have a specialist STEM pathway for students in Years 7, 8 and 9.

The post will involve teaching courses to match the strengths of the successful candidate.

The school is located just south of Sudbury in Suffolk and is within easy reach of Colchester, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.

Many of our staff work flexibly in different ways including part-time working. For this role we are open to discussing the possibility of reduced hours of flexible start and end times. Please talk to us at the interview stage about the flexibility you would like and we will explore what's possible for this role.

The salary will be discussed at the interview, and depends on qualifications and experience of suitable candidates. Consideration of a TLR will be given for someone to take responsibility for the delivery of engineering qualifications.
