Teacher of Computer Science job summary

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding teacher of computer science to join our motivated and supportive Technology Faculty. The successful candidate will need to be an enthusiastic, inspiring and motivating teacher who can demonstrate excellent subject knowledge and will ensure students have high aspirations and achieve their best. The role would suit an experienced teacher or an ambitious and skilled new teacher and both full time and part time applications will be considered.
