The Role
Fernhill School is seeking to appoint an innovative, dynamic and highly motivated colleague to join our Technology department, specialising in Food. We are keen to hear from qualified teachers or instructors/chef practitioners (especially those who are interested in working towards a teaching qualification). The successful candidate will be an excellent practitioner and a strong team player with a keen interest in developing a love of cookery in others and a cutting edge curriculum that places Food Technology at the forefront of innovative practice.
The Candidate
Following the departure of the current post holder, we are looking to recruit a dynamic and highly motivated teacher or instructor who can build on the excellent work already achieved. The successful candidate will be able to instruct Food Technology and develop their ability to instruct to GCSE level. Above all, our next Food Technology teacher or instructor will have a love for their subject demonstrated by engaging and dynamic lessons that inspire our students. Our students are well motivated, keen to learn and characterful. The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate innovative previous experience and very importantly, great commitment and enthusiasm.
The Technology Department
The Technology Department includes Resistant Materials, Graphics, Textiles, Vehicle Technology and Food Technology. Technology is a popular subject both at Key Stage 3 and GCSE, with demand exceeding capacity. The department is well resourced with two workshops (one housing a laser cutter and a 3D printer), one textiles room, a garage and a designated Food room. A full time technician ably assists in the preparation for Food Technology lessons and supports students with SEND.
