Teacher of Computing - Full or Part Time - September 2023

Would you like to work with able students who enjoy computing? Would you like to join a supportive team of specialists who collaborate to get the best from our students? Would you like the freedom to innovate in your classroom?  Perhaps you would like the opportunity to teach in the sixth form or perhaps that is something you would like to work towards? 

We seek to appoint a teacher of Computing from September 2023 to join a successful department in an ‘outstanding’ selective school.  The post can be full or part time to suit your work-life balance and we welcome applications from both experienced teachers and ECTs. The successful candidate will need experience of coding but you will have options within an experienced department to teach at a level that suits your level of expertise. 

This is a rare chance to join a small department, teaching enthusiastic and intelligent young coders in a friendly environment that encourages professional development and individual wellbeing. The department has 3 computer suites at its disposal, offers extracurricular clubs and contributes to STEM activities in the school.  Computer Science is a popular subject taught at all Key Stages, with strong recruitment at Key Stages 4 and 5. Results are excellent at both GCSE and KS5 with strong value-added; students regularly gain places at prestigious universities to pursue Computer Science. 

Bexley Grammar School is an oversubscribed, high achieving, coeducational selective school, rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in October 2022. With a full complement of subject specialist teachers, a rich curriculum and a wealth of extra-curricular activities, we provide an exciting and enriching educational experience for all and many opportunities for career progression in both the academic and pastoral life of the school.

For more information about our school and a sense of its ethos, please explore our website (www.bexleygs.co.uk) where you will also find an application form under Vacancies.

Closing date for applications is noon on Tuesday 28th February.

This post is considered to be a customer-facing position; as such it falls within scope of the Code of Practice on English language requirement for public sector workers.  The school therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the person specification. These will be applied during the recruitment/selection and probationary stages.
