Καθημερινές υποχρεώσεις και ευθύνες
As a Design & Technology Technician, your responsibilities are broad, covering day-to-day management of equipment and resources. You’ll help prepare materials for lessons, assist with maintenance, and ensure a safe working environment at all times.
Backing up the teaching staff is a large part of the role. You must keep tools and resources well-organised, and ready for both practical lessons and extra-curricular activities. Keeping health and safety procedures up-to-date and implemented is essential.
The job also includes handling orders for new supplies and supporting demonstrations for classes when required. Occasionally, you may help with displays or student projects, making this a hands-on and varied job.
Main Pros of the Position
The technician job offers stability with a permanent contract and the chance to work term-time, which suits those looking to balance work and life. Generous perks, such as access to professional development, are included.
Staff benefit from a supportive team-oriented environment, and initiatives that prioritise wellbeing. An ethos of care and inclusion pervades, and priority admission for staff children is another strong advantage for parents.
Main Cons of the Position
As with many technician roles, some repetitive tasks may occur, particularly in preparing materials or maintaining equipment. The need for high attention to health and safety protocols can also be demanding.
Term-time working means the role may not suit those seeking all-year-round work or higher annual income compared to full-year contracts elsewhere in the sector.
Ετυμηγορία
The Design & Technology Technician position is ideal for hands-on problem solvers who enjoy supporting both students and staff. Flexible hours, a real sense of community, and a respected school ethos make this an attractive choice for the right candidate.
