Full-time or part-time from September 2022.

This is a very exciting opportunity to join a thriving school that is rapidly becoming the ‘go to’ school in the locality. Our student numbers are rocketing with 310 Year 7 students arriving in September and a Sixth Form capacity of 400! Size equates to opportunities, innovation and a dynamic vision for school growth allied with a focus on investing in and developing our diverse and energised workforce.

This Director of Food & Technology position will play a key role in helping to take Cleeve School from Good to Outstanding and beyond. We are on a fantastic journey, inspired by our core values of Aspiring, Collaborating and Transforming.

As well as liaising closely with the Senior Leadership Team, you will take a strategic oversight of Food and Design Technology. Ideally, you will be able to offer both Food and Design Technology as your own subject specialisms, but with a greater emphasis on Food.

Our vision is that food and nutrition sits at the heart of student well-being, academic excellence, enrichment and also preparation for adult life. We would love to see Cleeve School become a Centre of Excellence for food technology through all of our Key Stages. In this regard, we are already cultivating an exciting partnership with the Leiths School of Cookery. We feel very strongly that this should not just be the preserve of the private sector – and so do they!

The role is a perfect platform to develop your own career towards an Assistant/ Deputy Head role, and beyond. We will invest in you. Equally, a powerful vision for Food and Technology will see the specific role here at Cleeve develop. For example, this could be by creating a ‘Faculty’ struggle with other subject areas. The possibilities – as we grow – are endless! This will also involve further capital investment in the Food and Design Technology area.

The school is an equal opportunities employer and committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and therefore expects all staff and volunteers, to share this same commitment. We particularly welcome applications from under represented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Closing date: 9am Tuesday 24th May 2022
