ICT and Computer Science Teacher

The opportunity has arisen for an inspiring teacher of ICT and Computer Science to join our digital learning and computing team. This is a permanent contract from September 2019.  This post is advertised as full time, however part-time hours may be negotiable. Whether an NQT or experienced teacher, you will enjoy working in this supportive department where your continuing professional development is championed. 

At KS3 all students are taught Digital Learning & Computing (DLC). Creative iMedia and Computer Science are popular subjects at Brimsham Green School and the successful candidate will teach both GCSE Computing and Cambridge National Creative iMedia at Key Stage 4. 

Experience of teaching post-16 Level 2 and Level 3 ICT courses is highly desirable.  We currently offer both Level 2 and Level 3 OCR Cambridge Technicals in IT.

• Do you passionately believe that all young people should follow a curriculum that equips them to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world?

• Can you support all students to become digitally literate – to express themselves and develop their ideas as active participants in a digital world?

• Are you ambitious for yourself and do you inspire others to excel?

If the answer to all three of these is 'yes' and you are a skilled teacher who is ambitious for every single child who enters your classroom, then please read on...

You would be joining a team of experienced teachers who are all dedicated to equipping students with the skills and knowledge to prepare them for the next stages in their education, be it university, apprenticeship or careers with one of our prestigious local employers.  The team is driven to ensure our students receive a well-rounded education and the curriculum is enhanced with extra-curricular activities. Uptake at KS4 is very strong, an indicator of the engagement in the learning instilled in students throughout KS3. 

In return for your hard work, passion and commitment we offer:

• Bespoke CPD, whether you are an NQT or an experienced teacher - we firmly believe 'better never stops'

• A supportive team of departmental colleagues who involve themselves fully in the pastoral and social life of the school

• The opportunity to join a committed team of staff who believe that teaching is a great profession, and who challenge each other to excel

Should you decide that you would like to join the staff team here at Brimsham, challenging and supporting our enthusiastic learners, then we look forward to reading your completed application form. Within your supporting statement, please address the following points (this should not exceed two sides of A4): 

1. How you have successfully challenged and supported students of varying abilities to make good progress.

2. How you have successfully improved students’ ICT outcomes.

3. The role you play in facilitating students’ resilience and independence.

The closing date for this post is Monday 3 June at 9:00 a.m.  If you have not heard from us by Friday 7 June then you should assume that unfortunately you have not been shortlisted on this occasion.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and the successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
