Job description

We employ around 150 staff, and the majority of staff live within 30-45 minutes of the school including York, Hull, Leeds and Harrogate. Staff involved in boarding live on site. We operate our own salary scale and all staff contribute to a pension scheme. During term time (in normal times) meals are provided when you are on duty. Working in a boarding school is an experience like no other. The sense of community is very strong and the opportunity to get to know both girls and staff is more apparent than would be the case in a day school. There are lessons on a Saturday morning and our term dates are shorter than schools in the state sector, although we adhere wherever possible to the half term dates of the local authorities in order to support our staff with children of school age.

An outstanding teacher is required to deliver Food Technology to all year groups in the school. With its own dedicated classroom and kitchen in the Art and Technology Centre, the department is very popular amongst the girls. We are flexible in our approach but an essential requirement is a first rate, well qualified, teacher of Food Technology to ensure the delivery of the academic curriculum and enrichment programme.

You will be an enthusiastic and creative teacher keen to ensure the highest quality classroom teaching. You will sympathise with the school’s aims and ethos and the concept of a girls’ only boarding education. You will enjoy the company of young people and have the skills necessary to enable every girl to strive and achieve her maximum potential.

Hours: up to 0.4 FTE (up to 10 hours).

All applicants must complete the school’s official application form, available via this link to our website https://queenmargarets.com/careers , providing a full career history and names and contact details for two referees. Completed application forms should be returned to: [e-mail].
