Are you practical, creative and passionate about supporting hands-on learning in Art, Design and Food Technology? Join our friendly ADT team at The Grammar School at Leeds!

The role

In this varied and rewarding role, you'll help prepare materials and equipment for lessons, maintain our specialist rooms and stores, and support colleagues and students in practical sessions, particularly within Food Technology.
