Grade: MPS / UPS
Contract Type: Permanent
Vacancy Hours: 1.0 FTE
Location: Bedale, North Yorkshire
Start Date: September 2027
We are looking for a passionate and enthusiastic Teacher of Design Technology to join our successful and committed Art and Technology Faculty at an exciting time in Bedale High School's development.
Bedale High School is a thriving, ambitious and community-focused school which has undergone a period of significant improvement. In July 2026, Ofsted recognised the strength of our provision, awarding the school Strong Standard judgements across every area of inspection. This recognition, alongside our excellent GCSE outcomes, reflects the hard work, dedication and shared ambition of our staff and students.
We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved, but our ambition does not stop here. We are determined to build on our success, continually improving the opportunities, experiences and outcomes we provide for every student.
The successful candidate will be an excellent classroom practitioner who shares our high expectations and enthusiasm for education. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of a supportive, forward-thinking school where staff work together, go the extra mile for students and take genuine pride in making a difference.
We believe that investing in our staff is fundamental to providing the very best education for our students. As part of our commitment to professional development, every teacher benefits from a dedicated Staff Development Time period each fortnight, in addition to their normal PPA entitlement. This timetabled period provides protected time to work directly with their line manager on personalised professional development, supporting continuous improvement in teaching and helping colleagues develop and flourish throughout their careers.
Our core values of Courage, Commitment and Compassion underpin everything we do. We want a teacher who will bring these values to life through their teaching, relationships with students and contribution to the wider life of the school, including our growing extra-curricular and enrichment offer.
Above all, we are looking for someone who can inspire a love of Design Technology, deliver engaging and challenging lessons, and help students recognise the creativity, practical skills and exciting opportunities that the subject offers beyond the classroom.
