Aspire People are currently recruiting for an experienced and enthusiastic Food Technology Teacher to join a secondary school in the Peterborough area with an immediate start.

The role will involve:

-Ensuring high standards of health, safety and hygiene within practical lessons
-Managing classroom behaviour effectively
-Assessing pupil progress and providing constructive feedback
-Working collaboratively with the department and wider school team
-Creating an inclusive learning environment where pupils can develop practical skills, independence and confidence
We are looking for:
-A Food Technology specialist with relevant secondary teaching experience
-QTS, QTLS or an appropriate teaching qualification
-Strong subject knowledge within Food Technology / Food Preparation and Nutrition
-Experience delivering practical food lessons
-Good knowledge of classroom health, safety and hygiene requirements
-Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
-A genuine passion for your subject and for supporting young people
-An enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply for one
