Teacher - Culinary and Hospitality Skills Harrogate

Harrogate College is looking for an inspiring Culinary and Hospitality Masterclass Teacher to deliver high-impact, professional training to our adult learners. We need a passionate expert who can lead industry-standard sessions, motivating adults to upskill, retrain, or master new techniques in our professional bistro and kitchen facilities.
You will be dedicated to providing an outstanding learning journey, ensuring every student gains the confidence and tangible skills needed to excel in their personal or professional culinary goals.

You won’t just be teaching techniques; you’ll be building confidence, mentoring students through their individual journeys, and celebrating their progress. Joining our supportive department means working alongside a team genuinely passionate about helping every learner unlock their talent and achieve a successful future in hospitality.

Our college is a vibrant environment where staff provide high challenge and generous support, helping adult learners thrive through hands-on experience. Whether they are looking to enter the industry or advance their current careers, your role as a teacher will be life-changing for students seeking progress and excellence. We pride ourselves on a positive, inclusive culture where we celebrate the successes of our learners within the department and across the wider Luminate Education Group.

• You will bring your industry expertise to life by designing and delivering high-impact masterclasses that go far beyond standard lesson plans.

• Create immersive, hands-on learning that keeps adult students engaged and motivated.

• You’ll be responsible for setting high standards and providing the kind of sharp, constructive feedback that helps learners sharpen their skills and reach professional benchmarks.

• Maintain high quality standards while utilising Harrogate College’s extensive Employer Network to keep your teaching rooted in the local industry.

You won’t just be teaching techniques; you’ll be building confidence, mentoring students through their individual journeys, and celebrating their progress. Joining our supportive department means working alongside a team genuinely passionate about helping every learner unlock their talent and achieve a successful future in hospitality.

• A seasoned hospitality professional with a genuine commitment to your craft and have a natural desire to mentor others. While you may not have formal teaching experience, you will have substantial experience in high-standard kitchens or front-of-house operations and are now ready to inspire adult learners.

• An effective communicator who can translate complex industry techniques into clear, actionable steps for those looking to upskill or retrain.

• You understand the value of high standards and creative flair. You thrive on the success of a team and find it rewarding to watch others develop their own unique talents.

• Backed by an inclusive approach and a positive attitude, you are ready to move from the professional floor or kitchen into our bistro to help adults discover their culinary potential.
