Food Technology Teacher – PRU / SEND Provision

Morden | January 2027

 

Are you a resilient, adaptable teacher who believes that education can make a genuine difference to young people who need it most?

 

We are working with a specialist SEND provision in Morden to recruit a Food Technology Teacher for a January start. Initially offered on a long-term agency contract, this is an opportunity to deliver meaningful, practical education to pupils who benefit from a different approach to learning.

 

The successful Food Technology Teacher will be teaching BTEC Home Cooking Skills, helping pupils develop practical cooking abilities, independence and valuable life skills.

 

About the role:

  • Deliver engaging Food Technology lessons within a specialist PRU environment.
  • Teach BTEC Home Cooking Skills, supporting pupils to develop practical and transferable skills.
  • Build positive relationships with pupils who may present with social, emotional and mental health needs.
  • Create a safe, structured and purposeful learning environment.
  • Use patience, consistency and adaptability to encourage engagement and positive outcomes.

 

What we're looking for:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or relevant teaching experience.
  • Excellent behaviour management and the ability to negotiate challenging situations.
  • Resilience, emotional intelligence and a calm, consistent approach.
  • Strong safeguarding awareness and an understanding of pupil vulnerability.
  • Previous SEMH or PRU experience would be highly advantageous.

 

Why consider this opportunity?

This is more than a teaching role. It's an opportunity to help young people build confidence, develop independence and acquire skills they can use beyond the classroom.

 

If you're a teacher who thrives on making a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
