Design Technology Teacher

Protocol Education is working with a friendly and forward-thinking secondary school looking for a Design and Technology Teacher to join their established team.

This opportunity would suit an experienced DT teacher ready for a new challenge, or an ECT looking for a school where support is more than just a buzzword. You’ll be joining a department that works closely together, shares ideas freely, and celebrates progress, both in and out of the classroom.

The role involves teaching Design and Technology across KS3 and KS4, delivering practical, engaging lessons that build creativity, confidence and problem-solving skills. The curriculum is broad and well-planned, with room to lean into your strengths and specialism.

You’ll be:

• Delivering engaging DT lessons that inspire hands-on learning
• Creating a positive classroom environment where students feel confident to try, create and improve
• Adapting teaching to support different learning needs
• Tracking progress and using assessment to move learning forward
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to keep lessons creative and consistent
• Building strong relationships and promoting positive behaviour for learning

What we’re looking for:

• UK QTS, or working towards it as an ECT
• A passion for Design and Technology and practical learning
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A reflective mindset and willingness to keep developing
• High expectations and a commitment to inclusive education

What Protocol Education offers:

• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
• Free access to our online CPD Academy
• Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant who genuinely listens
• Opportunities matched to your values and teaching style
• A smooth and straightforward registration process

If you’re an ECT, this is a great chance to build confidence in a supportive department with strong mentoring in place. If you’re experienced, it’s an opportunity to join a school where your ideas and expertise will be valued from day one.
