Teacher of Computer Science (Partnerships)

We have an exceptionally exciting and unique opportunity for an experienced Teacher of Computer Science to join our RGS Partnerships Team. The role will be two-fold: teaching students in our school but principally working with students and teachers from other local schools on Computing Partnership projects. This is a fixed-term, two-year post, with the scope to continue beyond two years if demonstrable impact leads to continuance of funding. The successful candidate will work alongside our existing team of six Partnership teachers across STEM and Sport. We anticipate the role will either backfill an existing member of the department or directly deliver local Initial Teacher Training content, as well as fulfil the local element of a national cross-sector Computing project, encompassing teaching Computer Science GCSE to students in state schools. As such, this role is not suited to a new teacher to the profession but rather someone with deep experience of the curriculum across all Key Stages from 3 to 5. The expectation is that you will be based at RGS and will teach around 0.1/0.2 at our school. The remaining 0.8+ of teaching time will be dedicated to projects aimed at raising attainment and improving access to opportunities among children from local state-funded schools. There will also be an expectation that some activities will help to improve the skills of non-specialist Computing teachers in partner schools. You would be expected to demonstrate an entrepreneurial flair in making the most of the role: we are looking for a tech superstar who can inspire, motivate, and innovate! The role is intended to be full-time, but we also welcome candidates looking for at least 0.6 of a full-time equivalent role. You would be under the guidance and support of the Head of Computing while reporting to the Director of Partnerships. Closing date: 9.00am on Monday 3rd February 2025. We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of neurodivergence, age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships. Whilst all applications are considered on merit, we would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently underrepresented in our staff community. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff to share this commitment. All posts are subject to pre-interview referencing, internet searches and pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS check with the children’s barred list check and other appropriate checks.
