Food Technology Teacher – Peterborough – Immediate Start

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.

This is a specialist Food Technology teaching position and is not a general cover role. We are therefore looking for a teacher with genuine experience of teaching Food Technology, Food Preparation and Nutrition or a closely related subject within a secondary school setting.

The school is looking for someone who can confidently take responsibility for their classes, deliver engaging practical and theory-based lessons and provide pupils with consistency from the outset.

The role will involve:

  • Teaching Food Technology / Food Preparation and Nutrition across the secondary age range
  • Planning and delivering engaging practical and theory lessons
  • 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
  • References covering the required safeguarding period

The position is ideally full-time, although the school is happy to consider strong Food Technology specialists looking for part-time work.

All candidates must demonstrate a clear commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
