This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a small team in a supportive environment where your expertise and care will have a lasting impact.

About the School:

This school is a warm, welcoming environment where staff work hard to provide a nurturing atmosphere for students. The school supports pupils aged 11-16 with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. With class sizes of around 6 pupils, it’s a fantastic opportunity to get to know each student individually and really make a difference in their learning journey.

While there can be some challenging behaviour, the school's main focus is on providing emotional and communication support, offering nurturing and tailored teaching methods to help students thrive. Every day brings something new, and the team is committed to providing a safe, caring space for every child to grow and succeed.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a creative and dedicated Food Technology Teacher who is excited to bring their skills to life in a small but dynamic school environment. You’ll be teaching Food Tech at both Key Stage 3 and GCSE level, helping students develop both practical skills and a love for food science.

The school is looking for someone who can start immediately but is happy to wait for the right candidate. This role is offered as a temp-to-perm opportunity, so if you enjoy the role and the environment, there’s potential for a long-term position. The school will pay to scale, with salaries reflecting your experience and qualifications.

About You:

We are looking for someone who is not only passionate about teaching Food Technology but also understands the unique needs of students with SEMH. Whether you are a fully qualified teacher or an experienced Food Tech instructor with significant experience at GCSE level, we’d love to hear from you!

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a close-knit, supportive team where every staff member is dedicated to the well-being and success of the students.
