Capital City Academy is seeking a part time DT Technician to join our strong and creative Art & Design Faculty. This role is vital, as practical work is at the forefront of our Arts & DT curriculum across all disciplines: Arts, 3D, Textiles & Catering. The Art & Design department is very well established with an impressive breadth including 3D design, Photography, Graphics, Fine Art, Textiles and Drawing. Capital has been awarded the Artsmark Gold and has the Arts as one of its two key specialisms alongside Sport. The Catering department, although small, is very successful and the student of Catering is continually popular. The successful candidate will have excellent knowledge and qualifications and be willing to work hard to support all facets of teaching and learning in DT. We are looking for this role to be part time but the timings of hours can be negotiated at interview.

We foster artistic creativity, wellbeing and leadership potential within a rich and diverse community. Our core values of determination, integrity, curiosity and empathy inspire and nurture a passion for learning and success with a strong sense of inclusivity, individuality and responsibility. Our moral purpose is to ensure our students and staff have access to the best possible futures and contribute positively to society through an outstanding careers/development programme, excellent leadership and coaching.

Pupils from the academy will participate in initiatives such as the Harris Experience, designed to broaden the cultural and academic experiences of the most academically promising young people, and which has helped ensure Harris pupils now attend Russell Group universities at a rate of more than twice the national average.

The Harris Federation will provide training, support and career development opportunities for staff as well as expert, hands-on teams in finance, estates, IT, HR and recruitment, freeing up teachers and leaders to focus on one thing and one thing only: the outstanding education of their pupils.
