This is an excellent opportunity for a Food Technology specialist looking to secure a substantial long-term position for the remainder of the academic year.

The successful candidate will join an established secondary school and take responsibility for delivering engaging and practical Food Technology lessons, helping pupils develop their knowledge, confidence and practical skills.
