About the Roles

PK Education are currently working with two secondary schools across South Yorkshire who are seeking Design & Technology Teachers to join them on a full-time basis from Easter until May half term.

Key Responsibilities

Planning and delivering high-quality DT lessons across KS3 and KS4. Maintaining a safe and organised workshop/classroom environment. Managing behaviour effectively in line with school policies. Supporting students in developing practical skills and subject knowledge. Assessing and providing feedback where required.

What We’re Looking For

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or relevant teaching experience. Experience teaching Design & Technology at secondary level. Strong classroom and behaviour management skills. A flexible and adaptable approach. An enhanced DBS on the Update Service or willingness to obtain one.

What PK Education Offer

Competitive daily pay rates paid weekly via PAYE. Support from a dedicated PK Education consultant. Opportunities for further roles following the placement. Access to CPD and professional development. The chance to work in supportive and well-resourced schools.
