We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic Food Technology Teacher to join a dedicated Expressive Arts department and create an environment where students explore and develop a lifelong love of culinary skills.

We can offer you the opportunity to deliver theory and practical lessons where you will inspire students to appreciate nutrition and culinary techniques that cover a range of food technology topics and concepts.  Whatever your career stage, you will be supported to develop further knowledge and to enhance your teaching tool kit, so that our students are able to excel in all aspects of their educational journey.
