We are recruiting for a fantastic part time role of DT technician. Design and Technology (D&T) is a popular subject at Claremont Fan Court both at GSCE and A level. In September 2019 we opened a brand-new Design & Technology studio, with a range of machines including 3D printers and laser cutter to assist pupils in achieving their outcomes. CorelDraw, SketchUp and Fusion 360 are used extensively to help pupils in modelling and developing their ideas. Traditional equipment such as lathes and milling machines are housed in our well-resourced workshop.
The successful candidate will have a broad-based knowledge of materials and be reliable, organised, calm and flexible with an enthusiasm for design as well as being confident dealing with pupils. You will be competent in a range of manufacturing techniques and have practical experience of using tools and machines including pillar drill and band saw; experience with a centre lathe and milling machine would be desirable. Previous DT technician experience within a school or relevant industry experience is essential.
In return you can expect all the benefits of a thriving independent school: a competitive salary, pension, professional development, cycle scheme, lunches in term time and free parking.
Further details of the role and how to apply can be found under the ‘working at Claremont’ link on our website.
Closing date: 9.00AM Friday 17 May 2024
Interviews will be held week commencing Monday 20 May 2024
We are an equal opportunities employer and are seeking applications from suitable candidates from all backgrounds. We are fully committed to creating and sustaining a positive and supportive working environment free from discrimination where staff feel valued and respected.

Claremont Fan Court School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the school is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
