Teacher of Computer Science

A new approach to Professional vocational education @ UTC Leeds

UTC Leeds is the first school of its type in the Leeds City Region specialising in Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing. We are sponsored by the University of Leeds and a group of employers from the region including Siemens, Unilever and AGFA. Offering a broad range of GCSEs and A levels alongside Technical Qualifications students will achieve outstanding academic success whilst also preparing for the Professional world of Engineering. Our links with the University of Leeds and 60+ employers will allow us to offer unprecedented access to the latest technologies and current employment practices. An £11million investment has created a modern, cutting edge college environment with a capacity to accommodate 600 pupils across the 14 – 18 age range. UTC Leeds offers a superb opportunity for students to study for a minimum of 8 qualifications including Maths, English and science and those achieving the right grades will then have the opportunity to progress on in to our sixth- form.

Recruitment of students at UTC Leeds has been strong and having made successful appointments at Leadership level we are now looking to appoint an inspiring and engaging teacher to deliver lessons in Computer Science. It would be an advantage, although not essential, if the appointed candidate could also deliver Business Studies.

This is a unique opportunity for the successful candidate to work with our students to shape and create a first class learning facility. You will have access to high quality CPD hosted by our partner sponsors and supporters to ensure you achieve your own career goals and aspirations.

This is a unique opportunity to open a brand new facility preparing young people for University and the world of Work.

We are very keen to hear from you if you are:

• Inspired by working in a school that attracts young people who are passionate about their own future and have a passion for Maths, Science and Engineering
• Excited at the prospect of developing a world class facility for students to gain academic qualifications as well as the skills they will need for life
• Ready to take the next step in your own personal development as a leader in a brand new school where you can have a significant impact on strategic development
• A Computer Science specialist

The opportunity is open to newly qualified teachers as well those with more experience.
