Could your Food Tech lessons give a young person a reason to believe they can succeed?

A specialist education setting in Hillingdon is looking for a Food Tech Teacher to deliver practical, engaging lessons to young people with SEMH needs.

For pupils who have struggled in traditional education, practical subjects can provide a different route into learning — building confidence, independence and a real sense of achievement.

  • Patient, resilient and consistent

  • Confident managing challenging behaviour

  • Creative and adaptable in your teaching

  • Able to maintain high expectations while showing empathy

  • Passionate about helping young people make progress

Experience in SEMH, SEN, alternative provision or specialist education is desirable, but mainstream Food Tech Teachers with strong behaviour management skills are also encouraged to apply.

  • Full-time, Monday–Friday
