Part-time Teacher of Computing (0.40fte approx.)

We are seeking an enthusiastic and dynamic teacher of ICT/Computing. They will be able to demonstrate an ability to work collaboratively with their department in the development of shared teaching and learning resources that will help to foster the growing ethos of anytime, anywhere learning. It is envisaged that initially at least, their primary responsibility would be with helping in the delivery of some well-established topics to our vibrant KS3 students. Experience of teaching Computer Science at KS4 and/or KS5 would be useful but is not essential. The successful applicant will be able to share their enjoyment with students by employing a range of teaching strategies as an outstanding classroom practitioner – strategies which provide for challenge, motivation and high pupil expectations. The role would be suitable for experienced colleagues or anyone new to the profession.

A willingness to assist in broader and extra-curricular activities both within the Computing Department and in the wider school is essential. All teaching staff also have vital roles as tutors within our vertical tutor system.

This is a part-time (approximately 0.4fte) post. The start date is September 2024.
