The school is located in Hambledon, close to Witley, Milford, Guildford and Godalming.

We are part of Orchard Hill College & Academy Trust (OHC&AT), a specialist Trust with 12 Academies and 7 College Centres across London, Surrey and Sussex. 

At St Dominic’s we believe passionately in a multi-disciplinary, ‘needs led’ approach to meeting each child’s and young person’s needs, resulting in carefully managed groupings, including specialist intervention work from our in house therapeutic team. 

The school works closely in partnership with families, referring authorities and external agencies to coordinate the best possible education, care, guidance and support for its pupils and students. 

St Dominic’s has been through a period of rapid growth and change. We are therefore seeking dynamic and committed staff, who share our organisational values, to work alongside our newly appointed leadership team. 

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated, and engaging Food Technology teacher to work with the pupils and students throughout the school across Key Stages 2 to 5.

Candidates must be able to independently plan, prepare and deliver ongoing and informative lessons that progress the pupils and students towards the achievement of the BTEC Home Cooking Skills up to Level 2

The successful applicant will be expected to deliver interventions on a 1:1 or small group basis and will have a commitment to developing outstanding practice and a passion for making a difference to the education and lives of our young people by building positive and supportive relationships.

Applications are welcome from UQTs, NQTs and experienced teachers who have the ability to think creatively and are resilient and motivated by challenges.  

Experience of working within a SEN setting is desirable but not essential.

Benefits include: Free car parking, Lunch provided on site, Employee Assistance Programme and membership to Perkbox.
