What skills and experience we're looking for
Suitable for ECTs or more experienced staff
Food Technology is taught throughout the Academy and is a popular KS3 rotation subject and KS4 (GCSE) option. There is a chance to expand this to KS5; however, currently, the role offers 15% non-contact time. We are looking to appoint a passionate and inspiring teacher of Food Technology to join our fun and engaging Design/Technology Team. Throughout the department, we offer many extra-curricular clubs, trips and visits from industry specialists.
Are you a team player, passionate about education and social mobility? Do you want to be a pivotal part of improving opportunities for the students, increasing their learning and social experiences? Do you want to work in an environment which prioritises staff and student health and well-being? Then please apply now!
What the school offers its staff
A thriving and friendly academy in the heart of the community, with staff recognition schemes, free gym and staff sports teams, to counter the free breakfast, “Friday Treats” and on-site coffee shop! We also offer the possibility of shared staff living accommodation and on-site parking.
“Staff feel very well supported by senior leaders. According to staff, they feel valued because senior leaders are approachable...” Ofsted 2020
Highcrest offers both an excellent induction and support programme for ECTs and an innovative and extensive CPD package for more experienced teachers. This provision of training has been praised as outstanding by an external assessor and highlighted in the local press. For ECTs, we provide weekly CPD meetings with experienced members of staff, time-tabled and protected Mentor Meetings on a weekly basis, subject knowledge time with departments and an extensive personalised CPD plan.
