St Edmund’s College is seeking to appoint a full-time, ambitious, and enthusiastic teacher of DT.
Candidates must have experience teaching resistant materials. Experience teaching textiles and graphics also welcome.

The subject is thriving, with a pupil recently awarded the prestigious Arkwright Scholarship.

The department has many links with local industry and successful projects have been underpinned by working with outside professionals.

The successful candidate will welcome the many opportunities to contribute to the lively co-curricular life of the College, which is situated in rural East Hertfordshire. St Edmund’s is England's oldest Catholic school offering an all-round co-education for students from 3 to 18 and for families from all faiths.
