Job description

Hands-on learning. Real-world skills. Real impact.

We’re looking for a qualified vocational teacher (PGCE/QTS/QTLS) to deliver Barista and Hospitality training to young learners aged 15–18 at HMYOI Feltham.

This is a practical, skills-based role—teaching young people how to make coffee, serve customers, run a small café space, and build confidence for life after custody. You’ll be showing them transferable, employable skills in a way that’s engaging and meaningful.

The role:

• Up to 23 teaching hours/week: 3.5 hrs AM + 2 hrs PM (Mon–Thurs), 3 hrs on Fridays
• 1pm Friday finish
• Non-contact time and PPA built in
• Small groups, with scope for 1:1 or outreach support

What makes it special: Your classroom is a café-style learning space—designed to mirror real hospitality environments. You’ll teach everything from making a cappuccino to teamwork, customer service, and taking pride in a job done well.
Many of the boys haven’t had success in school, but they thrive with practical, hands-on learning. You’ll need to be resilient, calm, and patient, with a sense of humour and a genuine belief in second chances.
The site is secure but safe and well-managed, with experienced support staff, an Ops Manager on the corridor, and a quick response system if anything kicks off.

What you’ll need:

• A Level 5+ teaching qualification (PGCE, QTS, QTLS)
• Experience in hospitality, catering or barista training
• A practical, encouraging approach to working with disengaged learners
• Strong behaviour management and a steady presence

Perks include:

• 40 days holiday (35 fixed + 5 flexible)
• Healthcare cash plan
• Matched pension (4–6%) & life assurance (3x salary)
• Organisational sick pay
• A chance to teach real-world skills that stick
