Specialist Teacher Design, Technology & Engineering

Medbury School is seeking an exceptional educator to create a future focused design, technology and engineering programme for boys in Years 5 to 8. This is not a conventional digital technologies role. It is an opportunity to design a programme, combining design thinking, engineering, practical making and purposeful technology. In a makerspace environment, boys will identify problems, imagine possibilities, sketch, model, build, code, test, refine and turn ideas into meaningful solutions. Located centrally in Christchurch, Medbury is a Years 1 to 8 independent preparatory school with a proud tradition and ambitious future. Our mission is growing boys to learn, lead and succeed. Our graduate profile seeks to develop boys who are curious and capable, grounded in character and ready for secondary school and to contribute. This new position sits at the heart of the Medbury Strategy Compass towards 2030 and its commitment to supporting learning and innovation. It will help bring our intentionally digital direction to life. Technology must earn its place by deepening thinking, expanding capability and enabling creativity. Digital tools will sit alongside materials, mechanisms, electronics, robotics, CAD, fabrication and hands on problem solving.
