The Department & Culinary Culture You will join a dedicated Design & Technology faculty that treats Food Technology as a flagship subject for student engagement and vocational success. The school features modern, industry-standard food preparation suites, allowing for high-level practical work across a variety of cuisines and dietary requirements.

Cultural Exploration: Integrating a "global kitchen" approach, teaching students about the origins of ingredients and the diverse culinary traditions that make up modern British society. The Successful Candidate We are looking for a practitioner who believes that food education is the foundation for a healthy and successful life. Requirements include: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS and a degree in Food Technology, Nutrition, or a related Home Economics discipline. Technical Proficiency: High-level culinary skills and the ability to demonstrate a wide range of practical techniques to students of all abilities. Safety Consciousness: A thorough understanding of health and safety in a school kitchen environment, including food allergy management. Inspirational Presence: The ability to manage a busy practical classroom with calm authority, fostering a love for cooking and a curiosity about where our food comes from. Why Join Us? A role in a school that values Food Technology as a vital life skill, offering a supportive environment with a dedicated technician and a healthy departmental budget. Access to specialized professional development through the Black Country and West Midlands teaching hubs, including food safety certification renewals. The opportunity to work in Dudley—a community-focused town with affordable living, excellent transport links, and a rich industrial heritage. A friendly, cohesive staff culture where your creativity in the kitchen is encouraged and your contribution to student wellbeing is celebrated.
