UTC Derby Pride Park opened in December 2019 and provides a new and dynamic education. It opened within The Sheffield UTC Academy Trust, which has a wealth of experience with two UTCs in Sheffield both graded Ofsted Good. UTC Derby Pride Park has benefited significantly from joining our successful Trust and is over-subscribed for 2023/2024. There is now a need to expand the staff team to ensure we continue to deliver high quality employer-led education to meet the demands of the region.

As a Trust we aim to deliver an outstanding educational experience grounded in real, relevant workplace practice. Partnerships with world-class companies, schools, colleges and universities give our students a unique start to their future careers. We provide training today for the jobs of tomorrow. Our cutting edge facilities and engagement with employers’ / university partners provides an exciting environment in which to teach and develop professionally. Our Trust destinations are testament to our success with students progressing to Russell Group Universities, including Cambridge, and securing higher level apprenticeships and employment at companies such as Rolls Royce, Toyota, Alstom, The Royal Navy, Joined Up Care Derbyshire and Derby and Burton NHS Trust.

We are looking to recruit a suitably qualified and experienced Engineering Technician who can support and provide materials and resources to staff to assist in delivery of the Engineering curriculum. The technician will also be responsible for the ongoing repair, servicing and maintenance in the department.

You will have a strong understanding of health and safety and be able to maintain positive relationships with staff and student. Experience of maintaining industrial engineering machinery would be advantageous although training can be provided on certain specialist equipment.

We are an employer who values equality and diversity and we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Successful applicants will be required to have an enhanced DBS check and will be subject to safer recruiting policies and procedures.
