Teacher of Food Technology

Join us on our amazing adventure to make THE difference

“The school provides high quality pastoral care” - Ofsted 2023

Are you driven by a passionate belief that excellent schooling is the right of every child?

Do you believe that we must never accept that personal circumstances, socio-economic background or prior attainment will inevitably limit young people’s potential?

Are you committed to the transformational power of education to shape lives and futures?

If so, we want to hear from you!

Due to an increasing school roll, we are seeking an inspiring and dedicated Food Technology teacher to join our team at Alvaston Moor Academy. The ideal candidate will be passionate about engaging students, fostering creativity, and helping them develop practical skills and knowledge in technology. With a focus on delivering high-quality lessons, you will encourage curiosity, innovation, and a love for learning, ensuring every student has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

We’re looking for professionals who are ambitious but humble, innovative but research-led, and warm and compassionate, with unapologetically high standards, to join us on our mission to take Alvaston Moor Academy in Derby from its current position to become one of the very best schools in the country.

In a community where almost 70% of pupils qualify for pupil premium funding, for more than a generation the school has struggled to consistently be the great school it can be, and that its young people, their parents and the community of Alvaston are entitled to.

In the last decade the school has seen periods of real improvement, but progress has often not survived changes in leadership, and positive changes have proved short-lived.

In 2021 Alvaston Moor began its latest journey of improvement as part of Archway Learning Trust. Once again improvement has come – recently recognised by Ofsted – but this time there is no alternative to ensuring that it is sustainable. And more than this, that the school finally delivers on its potential, demonstrates to its community, the city of Derby and the whole world that our children have as much potential as children anywhere.
