Teacher of Food and Nutrition in Royal Tunbridge Wells

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic Teacher of Food and Nutrition to join our well-respected and ambitious team. The successful applicant will have a passion for Food and Nutrition and have an understanding of the strategies required to motivate and inspire students who can contribute to an excellent team achieving equally impressive results. Above all else, the successful candidate should be enthusiastic about their work with young people and have a genuine concern for their development as individuals. Applications from ECTs are encouraged and welcome. The Food and Nutrition Department aims to develop its students' curiosity and understanding of the world around them through the products they use and the food they eat. The 'hands-on' practical aspects of the course serve to develop students' skills and confidence with ingredients and kitchen equipment. At KS3 the curriculum explores the different areas of The Eatwell Guide so that students understand how a balance of good health is achieved. At KS4 students can continue their learning in food by opting to take Food Preparation and Nutrition at GCSE. The food rooms at both campuses are spacious, with air-conditioning, induction hobs and a blast chiller. The Food department is supported by two exceptional Food Technicians, who are ideally located at both campuses. Additionally, the location of the Food department means students have easy access to the brand-new IT rooms for NEAs.
