Job overview
Job title: Teacher of Computing (Subject Leader role available)
Salary: MPS / UPS
Hours: Full time/Part-time
Responsible to: Head of Faculty for Mathematics and Computing
Contract: Permanent
Required for September 2022 (or 1st July for an Early Career Teacher) a well-qualified Teacher of Computing to join a faculty which achieves excellent results and high standards. A Subject Leader role (TLR2a) is available for a suitably qualified applicant. Computing is taught to GCSE and A Level may be offered in the future if staffing allows. A recruitment and retention allowance may be payable to a suitably qualified candidate.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative individual to join an outstanding and committed Mathematics and Computing Faculty. Exam results in Computing at BHGS are consistently above national averages. The school places a high value on STEM subjects and enthusiastically participates in programmes working to break down gender stereotypes regarding STEM. There is an exciting range of enrichment activities on offer including visits to Bletchley Park and LegoLand and a Lego Robotics Club. ECTs are welcome to apply and there is a full programme of support and training.
Visitors tell us that our school is a friendly, lively and stimulating community where we emphasise the importance of the individual’s contribution and take pleasure in sharing and celebrating achievement. They commend the good behaviour of the pupils and their thirst for knowledge. Bishop’s is a diverse community that offers mutual support and encouragement and expects everyone within it to respect others’ gender identity, cultures, religion and beliefs. We hope that the values, self-discipline and sense of personal worth that pupils gain here will be a support throughout their lives as British and Global Citizens. We welcome applications from BAME candidates or from other groups that are underrepresented in the UK education system.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the school at a time of growth and development. The Faculty makes a huge contribution to the life of the school and we are looking for a candidate who will help to extend this work.
Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School has around 900 pupils on roll including the Sixth Form. We are fully committed to our values of teamwork, respect, honesty, trust, kindness and ambition. In February 2016 the school successfully completed its sixth OFSTED inspection and was graded Outstanding. The school has recently benefited from a total rebuild on the same site and enjoys excellent state of the art facilities. BHGS holds International School Status and is a Fairtrade School. Hatfield is within easy reach of London and other areas and the London Fringe Allowance is payable.
The school's Admissions’ Code gives priority places to children of staff and we give high priority to staff development. Staff are able to apply for our Professional Development Award which provides bursary payments to help finance CPD that goes beyond the school’s usual training programme.
