Are you an experienced chef or hospitality professional looking to pass your skills on to the next generation?

About the Role

An education provider is looking for a Hospitality and Catering Lecturer to deliver practical and theory sessions to learners working towards recognised hospitality and catering qualifications.

You'll plan and deliver engaging sessions, assess learner progress and help learners build the technical skills, professional standards and confidence they need to move into the industry.

You'll bring your own kitchen and front-of-house experience into the training kitchen and classroom, keeping learning current and relevant, and you'll create a positive, professional environment where learners are motivated to achieve.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering hospitality and catering theory and practical sessions across a range of levels.
  • Preparing schemes of work, lesson resources and assessments.
  • Assessing learner work, tracking progress and providing timely, constructive feedback.
  • Adapting teaching to meet the needs of individual learners.
  • Supporting curriculum delivery and development.
  • Maintaining high standards of food hygiene, health and safety in practical training kitchens.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A Level 3 qualification or equivalent in catering, professional cookery or hospitality
  • Industry experience in commercial kitchens, catering operations or food service
  • Strong practical knowledge of food preparation, service delivery and food safety
  • The ability to support learners with a range of needs in a vocational setting

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A teaching or assessing qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Previous experience of teaching or training in a further education setting

Share Your Trade with the Next Generation

If you're ready to bring your industry experience into the classroom and help learners build a career in hospitality, we'd love to hear from you.
