About this Role

We are delighted to announce that we are recruiting a professional and enthusiastic Design and Technology Technician to support teaching staff in delivering the curriculum to all students. This post would be of interest to a creative and flexible person. The role is to work in the D&T department, however, support will be needed in other areas including Food Technology on an ad hoc basis. We are looking for an experienced individual who possesses effective communication skills and knowledge and understanding of working in this environment.

Finham Park 2 is an exciting, friendly and supportive 11-19 co-educational comprehensive school based on the West side of Coventry near the border of Solihull and close to Warwick University. We opened in September 2015 with 120 students and have grown year on year, including our 6th form, which opened in 2020.

In September 2016 we moved to our new building- a light and spacious, high quality refurbishment with superb facilities including a brand-new sports hall. We are fully staffed with a positive, supportive, forward thinking team. We continue to be heavily oversubscribed each year. Our last Ofsted (November 2023) described Finham Park 2 as a good school in all areas with "a purposeful atmosphere around the school", "a calm and orderly manner" and "a highly ambitious curriculum", where "leaders carefully consider staff workload which staff are appreciative of."

Finham Park 2 is a truly comprehensive school with almost 700 students on roll. The vast majority of our students are happy, well-behaved, friendly, inquisitive, polite and wear their uniform with pride. On entry students are broadly in line with national averages with approximately 85+% middle or higher prior attainment.

We offer an exciting curriculum that provides opportunities for all students to ensure they all achieve and make the best progress they are capable of, no matter what their starting points; a curriculum that nurtures every child's talents and provides exceptional opportunities for students to have the 'time of their lives'.

Finham Park 2 is supported by and proud to be part of Finham Park Multi Academy Trust. As part of the Multi Academy Trust, we enjoy working in collaboration with the other MAT schools. This provides fantastic opportunities for both our staff and students.
