Computing Teacher

‘Think Differently’ to inspire young people to overcome all barriers and achieve their dreams.

This is the Vision Statement of James Brindley Academy.

• Do you want to have a positive impact on some of the most vulnerable children’s lives in Birmingham?
• Do you want to work in an organisation that recognises the benefits of a good work/life balance for its workforce?
• Do you want to work in an organisation that invests heavily in CPD and allocates additional training days to develop its staff?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to all these questions, join our team!

We are looking for a Computing Teacher; the role involves teaching pupils with medical needs who are unable to access mainstream education. Many of our young people have gaps in their education, and we strive to implement creative teaching strategies to reduce the impact of educational disadvantage, enabling all our young people to access learning and make expected progress. You should be passionate about developing and supporting the needs of the whole child and committed to enabling all pupils to thrive. We are looking for a qualified teacher with tenacity, positivity and experience of teaching the subject at KS3, KS4 and KS5. You should have QTS and a track record as a consistently good practitioner.

Location: Initially based at Parkway and Northfield, but you may be required to work across the Academy.

James Brindley is a stand-alone Academy based in a wide variety of locations across the City of Birmingham. During a school year, we educate over 3,000 young people for periods ranging from a few days in hospital to several years in one of our teaching centres. Many of our young people have complex medical needs, and many have been out of education for a significant period prior to joining us.
