Teacher of Design & Technology; Food Specialism

Reading Girls’ School is a dynamic and welcoming community, serving the educational needs of girls from the ages of 11 to 17 from a diverse local community.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and influential Part Time Teacher of Design & Technology (Food Specialism) who will inspire and provide excellent outcomes for students, working alongside talented and highly motivated colleagues.

A focus on excellent Teaching and Learning is the driving force behind our success. Our students are polite and thoughtful individuals who play an active role in shaping and leading the school, through the Senior Student Leadership Team.

Our aim is a very clear one: to provide the best possible life-chances for every student. To that end, we challenge our students to the very edge of their academic capabilities whilst providing wrap-around support towards those goals. We are part of the successful Thames Learning Trust. In October 2016, we moved into our new school building which has provided us with a 21st century learning environment.

We are committed to staff continuous professional development (CPD) and make sure teachers have the most up-to-date and relevant specialist knowledge in their subject areas.”

We also have a forward-thinking Employee Assistance Programme, a Medical Cash Plan, Wider Wallet benefit hub, Wider Fitness, eyecare vouchers, no lesson cover and generous non-teaching time allocation. As we are close to the centre of Reading, travel connections are first-rate, with the M4 and M3 within easy reach, as well as the mainline rail station (with fast connections to London).

Applications will be considered as they are received and we reserve the right to employ before the closing date.
