Job overview

Computing Leader

Wellington College International School Bangkok is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and operates recruitment procedures in line with the most up-to-date and rigorous guidelines from the UK.  

We are looking for a dedicated, tireless, flexible, inspired, thoughtful, resilient, dynamic, reflective and creative Computing teacher to lead our provision across the Junior School in the first instance and then, possibly, the whole school as we grow through into Senior.  Computing is an area of huge importance in a school - and it needs a relentless champion who will ensure that it is placed at the heart of the school.

Beginnings are such delicate times, as Frank Herbert says; he is certainly right when it comes to new schools: every member of our founding team must be ready to understand this delicateness, at the same time working robustly to build, strengthen and solidify the nascent ethos and culture of the school.  Wellington College Bangkok is very fortunate to have the full support of our sister school in Berkshire as well as enormous assistance from the existing schools that make up Wellington College China.  Ours is a global set of connected - yet very definitely independent - schools each of which has a clear imperative: to change the world for the better by being extraordinarily good institutions.

Please read the brief Job Description below in conjunction with the Class Teacher Job Description, which you will find in the downloadable Recruitment Booklet.

1. Purpose

1.1. This role combines delivery of some aspects of Computing and Coding curriculums with staff training and guidance so that all Class Teachers are confident and competent with the use of computers and other devices across the curriculum. There is also a need for dynamic, high-quality and high-visibility co-curricular offerings. It is very important for the post-holder to promote Computing, Coding and linked areas strongly across the School and in the wider community.

2. Subject-Specific Responsibilities

2.1. To manage all aspects of Computing and Coding and to monitor and evaluate classroom practice and student achievement in these areas.

2.2. To act as a consultant and co-teacher to colleagues on the teaching of Computing and the use of computing and coding in the broader curriculum and keep up to date with recent curriculum and tech developments

2.3. To develop and review as appropriate whole-School policies and to promote and monitor their implementation in classrooms by supporting, advising and leading colleagues.

2.4. To advise on and develop resources and learning materials to support the curriculum and to plan and deliver INSET as required.

2.5. To write an action plan for Computing linked to School Development Planning.

2.6. To manage budgets for Computing and Coding (but not IT generally).

2.7. To report to the Head of the Junior School on the progress of students in Computing and Coding and on new initiatives.

2.8. To develop exciting co-curricular activities with a Computing/Coding focus.

Wellington College Bangkok

Wellington College Bangkok’s mission is to deliver the most exceptional international education in Thailand—and across the region. We are proud and thrilled to be able to provide a very important piece in the jigsaw of Bangkok’s growing prominence as a Southeast Asian hub, and we are delighted to welcome families of all nationalities.

Our School is purpose-built on an expansive greenfield campus. The buildings, designed by world-class architects, are airy and modern yet retain echoes of the grandeur of the past. Our sports provision includes a full Olympic-size 50-metre pool, a huge gymnasium, a 400-metre track, sports pitches, basketball and tennis courts, indoor and outdoor golf facilities. Our fully-equipped classrooms, Learning Studios, Reading Rooms, Harkness rooms, Faculty Salons, our extraordinary 600-seat Theatre, our stylish Copenhagen Café (named after the Duke of Wellington’s favourite horse), our equally chic Café 1815, as well as the recreation areas—the green of the trees and the grass, the blue of the water—all play their part in making the experience of being at Wellington unique, exciting and, on top of that, fun.

The global family of Wellington Colleges—in the UK, China, here in Thailand, and shortly in India—has a very strong reputation for the development of academic excellence, international-mindedness, leadership, responsibility, service to others, outstanding pastoral provision and an exceptionally rich programme of co-curricular activities.

Our values grow from those of our close partner school, the world-renowned Wellington College in Berkshire. It is a fundamental principle that every child can thrive when provided with outstanding, wide-ranging and open-ended opportunities to develop, explore and learn. Our students’ individual responses to these opportunities, shepherded by some of the best teachers in the world and supported by our uniquely dedicated pastoral teams, can set them on the path to extraordinary academic achievement—which, at Wellington, routinely goes hand-in-hand with excellence in performing and visual arts, sport and service to others. This is what it means for the whole child to flourish.
