Teacher of Food & Textiles

An exciting opportunity for a passionate and enthusiastic teacher to join our Art & Design Faculty.  You will have the skills to engage and motivate students across the age and ability range and advocate the importance of creative subjects within the curriculum.  The faculty encompasses a range of creative disciplines, but your specialism and/or experience will be within Food and Textiles.  A willingness to teach other subject areas within the faculty would be advantageous.

At KS3, students benefit from the opportunity to study a range of specialisms across the faculty: Art, Food, Graphics, Product  Design, Resistant Materials and Textiles.  At KS4, the faculty currently has 16 classes across these disciplines, and the subjects continue to grow in popularity.  At A Level, we have classes in Art, Photography and Product Design. 

The role is offered, initially, as a maternity contract.  However, with the continuing growth of the faculty we envisage future opportunities for permanent employment.  The role is offered as full-time but applications from those interested in a part-time position will be considered.
