Art, Design and Technology Technician Vacancy

We are really pleased that you are interested in joining our fantastic community.

Carr Manor Community School is an all-through school at an exciting phase of expansion and development across both our Primary and Secondary Phases. We are proud of our caring and inclusive reputation and have a strong team of professionals committed to developing and delivering a broad curriculum to children aged 2-19.

We are one of the founding partners of the Leeds Learning Alliance and we are looking forward to further developing our partnerships over the forthcoming months and years.

It is essential that applicants wanting to join our team share our school’s ethos, which is firmly rooted in a restorative approach.

We are now looking to appoint an Art, Design and Technology Technician who has the tenacity, skills and flexibility to work in a fast-moving environment and enhance our busy support teams.

The ideal candidate will have the relevant experience and knowledge to provide guidance and support to the Team Manager and the ADT department. The candidate will be Health and Safety trained (or willing to complete training) in all relevant technical information. The post holder will be required to coordinate the use of practical resources and facilities within the department, offering guidance and assistance to pupils and teachers and will have a good knowledge on how to operate a range of machinery. The successful candidate will have Maths and English GCSE, grade C (5) or above or equivalent, strong IT skills, well developed organisational and communication skills and a basic understanding of child development and learning strategies.

It is essential that the post-holder shares our school’s ethos, which is firmly rooted in a restorative approach and the following values: to ‘Know our children well’: to be ‘Partners in Learning’: to develop ‘Character for Learning’; to ‘Enjoy and Achieve’. We firmly believe that in order to be successful in our work we need to be prepared and able to ‘do things differently and do different things’. We work relationally and restoratively with pupils, families, partner organisations and with each other. This is a key reason why Ofsted 2023 commented: ‘Exceptional does not do this school justice’.

We significantly invest in the development and training of all colleagues who are equally happy to share their expertise, skills and knowledge across the organisation. If you are looking to be stretched and challenged within a positive and creative staff team and you have a genuine desire to make a positive difference to our children, please submit an application form, covering letter and CV to [email protected] by noon on Monday 3rd March 2025..

We promote diversity and want a workforce which reflects the population of Leeds.

All successful applications will be subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring check and satisfactory references.
