The Nelson Thomlinson School is a high performing secondary school on the fringe of the Lake District in Cumbria, serving the needs of the small town of Wigton and its surrounding catchment area. We have a strong, academic ethos whilst recognising the comprehensive nature of our intake and constantly strive for further improvement with our pupils’ interests lying at the heart of all we do. Ofsted’s most recent visit in October 2023 highlighted our strong traditions and a school where pupils (and staff) are proud to live out its values. 
Required from September 2026, a well-qualified, flexible, enthusiastic and motivated person to be an integral part of the Technology Department, using their knowledge and practical skills to contribute to the preparation of materials, resources and technical support required for the delivery of high-quality practical lessons across KS3, KS4 and KS5 Industrial Technology and Engineering.
