About the role

Food Technology can offer young people something that traditional classroom learning sometimes cannot — the chance to create something practical, develop a skill and see an immediate result.

A specialist education setting in Hillingdon is looking for a Food Technology Teacher to deliver engaging, practical lessons to young people with social, emotional and mental health needs.

This is a role for a teacher who can combine strong subject knowledge with patience, structure and the ability to build positive relationships.

The setting

The setting supports young people with SEMH needs who may have experienced difficulties in mainstream education.

The environment is structured, supportive and focused on helping pupils develop both academically and personally.

As a Food Technology Teacher, you will have the opportunity to make learning practical, purposeful and accessible.

You will:

  • Plan and deliver engaging Food Technology lessons

  • Adapt lessons to meet individual learning needs

  • Teach practical cooking, food preparation and relevant theory

  • Develop pupils' confidence, independence and practical skills

  • Maintain high expectations for learning and behaviour

  • Assess and monitor pupil progress

  • Create a safe, organised and inclusive learning environment

  • Build positive relationships with pupils and understand individual barriers to learning

  • Work alongside pastoral and support staff

  • Contribute to EHCP reviews and pupil progress where required

  • Promote positive behaviour through consistency and restorative approaches

Who we are looking for

You will be:

  • A qualified teacher with strong Food Technology subject knowledge

  • Creative, adaptable and well organised

  • Confident managing challenging behaviour

  • Patient, resilient and consistent

  • Able to build trust and positive relationships

  • Committed to inclusion and individual progress

  • Able to maintain high expectations while showing empathy

Experience within SEMH, SEN, alternative provision or specialist education would be beneficial, although experienced mainstream Food Technology Teachers will also be considered.

What you can expect

  • £201.01–£298.05 per day PAYE

  • Full time, term time only

  • Temp to perm opportunity

  • ASAP start

  • Specialist SEMH education setting

  • Support from experienced education and pastoral staff
