Required for December 2026

Closing date: Tuesday 6th October 2026 (9am)

Queensmead is an oversubscribed 11-18 mixed school. We have a reputation for teaching excellence, which leads to exceptional outcomes for our students at both GCSE and A level. We invest heavily in our staff and we are very proud of their success.

With access to new facilities completed in 2022, the building includes three workshops and two computer suites, with areas set aside for 3D printing and laser cutting projects.

We are looking for a DT Technician to provide support for the Design & Technology Department. The ideal candidate will be competent in the set-up, use and maintenance of workshop equipment and machinery, new technologies such as laser cutting and 3D printing and art processes. It will involve preparing resources and equipment for lessons: hard materials: woods, metals and plastics, as well as maintaining machinery and ordering supplies.

Previous experience of working in an educational environment is advantageous because you will need to be able to support students and staff in the workshops. A knowledge of basic engineering and/or mechanics would be highly advantageous, however, full training will be given.

Hours of work:- Monday to Thursday, 8am to 3.45pm, with 30 minutes lunch (unpaid)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
