Whether you’re an ECT looking for a brilliant start to your career or an experienced practitioner wanting a fresh challenge, this is a cracking opportunity to join a supportive D&T department.

The Role

• Creative Delivery: Plan and deliver engaging Food & Nutrition lessons across KS3 and KS4.
• The Science of Food: Inspire pupils through the study of nutrition, food provenance, and the chemistry behind cooking.
• Tracking Growth: Assess and track pupil progress, providing the kind of feedback that actually helps a student improve their bake (and their grade).
• Standards: Maintain high expectations for behaviour and achievement-keeping the kitchen a safe, focused, and productive space.

Requirements

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): A must-have for this role.
• Subject Specialist: Proven experience teaching Food/D&T in a UK secondary school.
• Technical Savvy: Strong knowledge of food safety, hygiene, and a genuine enthusiasm for the subject.
• Management Skills: Effective classroom and behaviour management
• Compliance: A DBS on the update service (or the willingness to get one sorted pronto).
