DT Technician | Practical & Technical Role | Brent

If you're someone who enjoys making, building, fixing and working with practical equipment, this could be an excellent next step.

An Outstanding Ofsted-rated secondary school in Brent is recruiting a DT Technician to support its Design & Technology Department from October 2026.

Rather than being purely administrative, this is a genuinely hands-on position. You’ll be involved in preparing practical work, looking after workshop equipment and helping teachers create an effective environment for students to develop their practical skills.

A Typical Week Could Include

• Preparing materials and equipment for upcoming lessons

• Setting up machinery and practical workspaces

• Supporting students and teachers during practical sessions

• Maintaining tools and specialist DT equipment

• Keeping workshops tidy and properly organised

• Checking machinery and reporting faults

• Managing stock and ordering materials

• Ensuring equipment is stored correctly

• Supporting the department with health and safety

Experience

We’re open to candidates from a range of practical backgrounds. Previous experience as a DT Technician is ideal, but experience in engineering, manufacturing, carpentry, product design, construction or a similar technical environment could also be relevant.

You should be confident using workshop equipment, take safety seriously and be able to manage your own workload effectively.

• Outstanding Ofsted-rated secondary school

• Permanent employment

• Full-time hours
