Teacher of Computer Science & IT

We are looking for a Teacher of Computer Science and IT to join our team here at Kingswood Secondary Academy.

It is an exciting time for Kingswood Secondary Academy. We are expanding our team of teachers in the Vocational Faculty. We are looking for an energetic and hardworking Teacher of Computer Science and IT to start September 2024. We are interested in talking to both experienced colleagues looking for a new challenge as well as newly qualified teachers at the beginning of their career. Our ideal candidate will have a passionate and uncompromising commitment to pupil achievement and be a believer in the potential of young people, with a mind-set that all young people can experience success. Within the Vocational faculty, Computer Science and IT follows the KS3 National curriculum and delivers at KS4 and KS5 the Cambridge Nationals and Technicals, with the goal of preparing students in their future careers and inspiring the next generation. We are very keen on growing Computer Science as a GCSE and intend to have our first cohort beginning in September 2024.  

We are committed to the pursuit of excellence and are team players with a strong desire to work collaboratively. The vocational faculty has a strong team of new and experienced teachers who are always looking to support each other to continue the success of the faculty. Kingswood Secondary Academy is at heart of the community where every child is known, valued, and supported. 

We warmly welcome potential candidates to come on what we refer to as a ‘Walk and Talk’. This usually takes less than an hour and can be during the academy day or after school has finished. We find this provides a great opportunity for candidates to get a really good insight into Kingswood, prior to submitting an application. Please email jlawson@kingswoodsecondaryacademy.org if you would like to come in for a ‘Walk and Talk’
