Teacher of ICT

Teacher of ICT.

Tes is currently supporting a friendly and supportive secondary academy, based in Thurrock. The school is looking to add a Teacher of ICT to its progressive and supportive Department ideally starting in September 2021.

The role will include teaching and coordinating the delivery of ICT at KS3 and GCSE across year groups 7 to 11.  You will support the Head of ICT to enhance provision and will get the chance to get involved with exciting project work throughout the year. Project work will include revising schemes of work and ensuring the curriculum is engaging to all learners alongside projects that support student attainment, well-being and engagement within the wider school. You’ll also lead by example, supporting learners to achieve to the best of their ability and you’ll enjoy that great feeling when your learners achieve grades beyond their dreams.

“The ASCEND centre is for students who have specific behavioural, emotional and/or social difficulties. The centre caters for 30 students ranging from years 7-11 and there is a high ratio of staff to students compared with mainstream schools. The high ratio allows for very small teaching groups and a percentage of one to one sessions where necessary. At ASCEND we believe that in order to create an environment of respect, trust and cooperation we have to work as a team. This must include the staff, students, parents and visitors to the centre. Our aim is to create students who can make a positive contribution to the wider community and are confident about themselves.  It is vital that we empower and support our student’s to make positive choices while at school and throughout their lives. To create an inclusive, happy, secure and stimulating learning environment, we encourage all members of the ASCEND community to grow in self-esteem, self-governance and develop their potential as human beings.

The successful candidate would be required to teach IT and other subject areas across KS3 and KS4. Having KS2 experience would be advantageous but not limiting as the students enter the school with low levels of literacy. ”

The school is offering:

• A super supportive and highly visible SLT team and Headteacher;

• on-going CPD with programmes of study such as NPQML and MA in Educational Leadership

• progression support throughout the school and wider group

• support package for NQT’s/RQT’s including CPD and NQT mentorship;

• the chance to take on further responsibility such as TLR or Leadership roles in the future.

The school expects:

• A UK teaching qualification such as PGCE/PGDE, SCITT, BEd or MEd with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

• a relevant ICT Degree or a related subject

• experience of delivering ICT up to GCSE pushing and engaging learners to progress within the subject

• a love and passion for education.
