• Liasing with academic staff to provide ongoing support to current and future practical taught lessons.
• Supporting other areas of the team as and when required.
• Reacting and resolving issues as they arise.
• Ensuring safe/good working practices in the teaching space.

• You enjoy working with young people to enable them to reach their potential.
• You have excellent hands on experience with typical engineering tools and equipment.
• You are interested in learning to use and maintain new equipment including laser cutters and 3D printers.
• You know how to work safely in an engineering environment.
• You have experience of teaching or coaching, ideally (but not necessarily) in an educational context.
