Teacher of Computer Science (Full-time or Part-time) job summary
About the role: Due to the growth of The Leigh UTC and Inspiration Academy, we are seeking to appoint a great practitioner of Computer Science; an additional role within an experienced and knowledgeable department.
We have a clear vision to be a distinctive provider for outstanding STEM learning and as a result computing sits alongside engineering as one of our core specialisms. Our vast computing and IT curriculum offer includes an exciting array of qualifications including GCSE, BTEC, A Level and T Levels. In addition we are also responsible for delivering the teaching element of the IT Technician apprenticeships operated through LAT Apprenticeships. The delivery of our curriculum is supported by our excellent facilities: several dedicated computing labs, including a suite of Macs, and a server room purpose built for teaching. We have also initiated the roll-out of 1-2-1 Chromebook devices for all students to support teaching and learning throughout the academy.
The ideal candidate will have an infectious passion for computing and IT and will help all students understand the important role that the subject plays in all of our lives whilst also developing young STEM professionals for the future. Whilst we welcome applications from NQTs, substantial experience of delivering at least some of the qualifications that we offer is desirable. This role is available to those seeking part-time or full-time employment, and a TLR may also be available for an experienced candidate who is interested in pursuing a leadership role within the department. As an IB World School, applicants that have previous experience in delivering MYP and/or DP are of strong interest to us but please note that this criterion is not essential.
If you would like to visit in advance of making an application, or if you would like to informally discuss this role further please contact Kieran O’Donnell: kieran.o’donnell@theleighutc.org.uk
