Are you passionate about the leadership of teaching and learning in Food Technology? Do you have the skills and aptitudes necessary to join a committed and cohesive team of teachers who all aspire to deepen their passion for our craft and help students fulfil their potential? Can you make a significant contribution to a team which is renowned for its excellence in teaching and outcomes?

We are looking for an ambitious, reflective and talented leader to join us at Imberhorne School and ensure our students have an outstanding learning experience in Food Technology. Candidates should be excellent classroom practitioners with experience of successfully leading and developing others or the proven potential to do so in the future.

You will have a strong track record of success and be committed to your own professional development with a focus on further improving teaching and learning, maximising student progress and building strong professional relationships.

Our students are committed to their learning, have an excellent work ethic and very much enjoy their time at school. They are highly valued as individuals and extremely well cared for. We enjoy a supportive and collaborative school culture, founded on strong relationships, and we are proud of our very many outstanding achievements to date. We are also a founding member of the Mid-Sussex Federation of Secondary Schools, and this provides staff with unique opportunities to learn and develop with like-minded colleagues in three other local secondary schools and a very strong Science Learning Partnership.

To start: September 2024 or sooner       

All recruitment is undertaken in accordance with Safer Recruitment requirements. As part of our due diligence, we can only accept a curriculum vitae (CV) alongside a full application form. In accordance with the latest guidance, we may also conduct on-line searches as part of our recruitment process. The stated aim of this approach is that it may help to identify any incidents or issues that have happened, and are publicly available on-line, and we may want to explore with individual applicants at the interview.

Applicants are required, before appointment, to disclose any conviction, caution or binding-over including ‘spent convictions’ under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exemptions) Order 1975. Non-disclosure may lead to termination of employment.
