A welcoming school in Weston-Super-Mare is looking for a Food Technician to join their Food Technology department. Positive and productive relationships between staff and students are a characteristic of this school, ensuring behavioural policies are followed and making the school an encouraging learning environment.

This is a larger secondary school and with that comes some challenges but if you are looking to be part of a wider community this is the place for you . Offering teaching programmes to those wanting to progress in their educational career this is a progressive environment.

You will be the go to person for making the practical Food Tech lessons run smoothly, ensuring surfaces are clean and tidy, and the ingredients are prepared! In this role you will help the students in every step of their cooking journey! Showing young people safe and healthy food practices will be essential in this role. You will get the pleasure of instilling transferable and vital skills of food hygiene to all the students you will assist, and give young chefs all the knowledge necessary to prepare their first meals.
