We are looking for a qualified and experienced Computer Science / IT Teacher to join as our new Innovation Leader for Computer Science. At Harris Boys Academy East Dulwich, our Innovation Leaders are senior strand leads with excellent subject knowledge and lead a Department to help drive the academy towards excellence. Our Innovation Leaders are highly regarded within the academy and specialists within their field, but also hold whole school responsibilities working collaboratively with departments across the academy.
We want to hear from experienced middle leaders who have gained substantive teaching experience in Computer Science and/or IT, and are passionate about computer science. If you are looking for a leadership role which offers challenge and the opportunity to develop your skills and experience as a leader, not just within an Outstanding academy, but also the wider Federation, then this could be the perfect opportunity. This is an exciting position which offers a great deal of support and the chance to join a friendly, highly experienced academy team with a truly collaborative culture.
