Teacher of Secondary IB Computer Science

The English International School of Padua seeks to employ a teacher of computer science. We are looking for a motivated and committed teacher of computer science to teach mainly IB diploma students.  Our middle school follows a largely UK-based Key Stage 3 programme of study.  In the high school, we offer Cambridge iGCSEs and the IB diploma.  A degree and an appropriate teaching qualification are essential.  As well as experienced teachers, we also welcome NQTs, looking to progress and develop within a creative and challenging department and within the whole school, to apply for this post.

We are looking for:

• An enthusiastic and motivated professional who is passionate about Computer Science.
• A reflective and responsible practitioner able to adapt and develop with feedback provided whose aim is to be consistently excellent in the classroom.
• A teacher with EAL experience or the focus and drive to develop as a successful EAL practitioner.
• A qualified teacher who would like the opportunity to teach highly-motivated and well-behaved students.
• A team player who would like to contribute to the further development of this vibrant and progressive department and an individual who seeks to professionally develop through whole-school projects and collaboration.
• A professional with the desire to be involved in Computer Science at all ages. Experience of teaching IB computer science is desirable but not essential.  Also knowledge and use of the Python programming language would be an advantage.

What we will offer you:

• A small and dynamic International school with the scope to offer you a range of formal and informal professional development opportunities.
• A well-developed curriculum plan across all Key Stages, collaborative planning opportunities and detailed resources and lessons for adaptation and personalisation.
• Autonomy over texts chosen, pedagogical approach and planning with the opportunity to plan across the curriculum in progressive working parties.
• The support of the Maths Department who are deeply committed to raising standards.
• Students who genuinely want to learn.
• The opportunity to teach across the secondary age range including the opportunity to become a well-trained and effective IB teacher.
