We are seeking a teacher of Food Technology to join an expanding team, working initially with KS3 groups, but with the aim of eventually supporting Hospitality and Catering across all key stages.

Our Technology team is a multi-skilled faculty comprising of 8 teachers and 2 part-time technicians.

At KS5, we offer Level 3 routes into Engineering, Hospitality and Catering and Hair and Beauty which are also popular and well subscribed.

The faculty is well resourced with an ICT design suite, laser cutters, CNC routers, metal working lathes, Hair and Beauty salons, as well as two fully equipped Hospitality and Catering kitchens, where the successful candidate would be primarily based.
