You will plan and deliver engaging, well-structured Food Technology lessons that cater to the diverse needs of all students across Key Stage 3 (Food Preparation and Nutrition) and Key Stage 4 (WJEC Hospitality and Catering). This is a role where you will be able to show your creativity; deliver fantastic lessons with flair and imagination to inspire our students and instil joy into their learning.

This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the lives of young people.
