Job overview

Computing Teacher Trainee
Full Time (one year)
Start date August 2026
Apply by June 2026

We are looking for career changers and recent graduates to train as Computing teachers.

Dulwich College in partnership with the University of Roehampton has created a teacher training programme designed to help address the acute shortage of Computing teachers. Roehampton University is at the forefront of computing education, with staff contributing to curriculum development, publications and policy at national and international level.

Trainees on the programme are in school from day one and at the end of the year are awarded both qualified teacher status (QTS) and a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE). Trainees gain hands-on experience in the classroom through two contrasting school placements in our partner schools. After completing induction, and during both school placements, trainees are in their placement school for four days per week and spend the fifth at Roehampton University or a hub school for subject and professional studies training, designed and delivered by leading practitioners, including Miles Berry, Professor of Computer Education at Roehampton University. The course is highly subject specialised: trainees receive 14.5 days of subject specific training over the year.

Successful applicants may receive a £29,000 bursary tax free for the training year, subject to eligibility. There are also more generous scholarships of £31,000 available from the British Computer Society (BCS).

For trainees who left education some time ago, there are subject knowledge enhancement courses of various lengths available, for which trainees receive an additional bursary for completing.

Entry requirements for candidates are a first- or second-class bachelor’s degree (or equivalent of) in a relevant subject, in addition to a love of their subject and a desire to work with young people.
