We are proud to be part of the Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust, a family of 5 secondary and 17 primary (increasing to 43) schools in the east of the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. Thus, there are a number exciting opportunities for CPD and collaborative work across a number of schools. Furthermore, a comprehensive and bespoke support and induction programme is provided for all new staff in the school.
We wish to appoint a dynamic, well qualified, and highly effective teacher to the position of Head of Food & Nutrition. The successful applicant will work closely, and in collaboration, with the Head of Health & Social Care and the Head of Design Technology.

In Years 7 and 8, Food & Nutrition is taught in a carousel with Design Technology and Computing.

This is an exciting time to join and lead Food & Nutrition – we are looking for someone with the knowledge, skills and drive to shape the future direction of the curriculum in this area, across Key Stages 3 to 5.
It is expected that the successful applicant is willing and able to teach Health & Social Care, as well as Food.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop within an established and supportive team of colleagues, and will have the benefit of working in our modern and well-resourced suite of dedicated classrooms and work areas.
