Food Technology Teacher

Location : Croydon

Start date : January 2026

Are you passionate about empowering young women through practical and inspiring food education? We are working in partnership with a forward-thinking all-girls secondary school in the London Borough of Croydon to appoint a Food Technology Teacher on a full-time contract, starting in January 2026.

About the School

Located in Croydon, the school is committed to delivering a dynamic, supportive and aspirational environment where every student is encouraged to succeed. With a strong focus on practical learning, creative thinking and life-skills, the food technology department plays a vital role in fostering resilience, independence and healthy choices in young women.

The Role

• Teach Food Technology across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (and if applicable, support options at Sixth Form) – planning, delivering and assessing lessons that bring food science, nutrition, cookery skills, design and technology together.
• Create engaging, hands‑on practical sessions and theory lessons that motivate and challenge students to develop both culinary skills and broader life‑skills (such as health, hygiene, sustainability, budgeting, menu planning).
• Contribute to curriculum development: refine schemes of work, introduce new recipes/projects, manage resources, maintain safe and effective practical teaching spaces.
