Teacher of Computer Science (Partnerships)

We have an exceptionally exciting, unique opportunity for an experienced teacher of Computing. 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, 2-year post, with scope to continue beyond 2 years if continuance of funding is achieved. The successful candidate will work alongside our existing team of Partnership teachers in STEM and Sport. The successful candidate would aim to show proof of concept and impact across a range of projects to secure funding beyond the initial period. The expectation is that you will be based at RGS and will teach 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 salary will be determined by the RGS Teachers' Scale. Excellent benefits are available (please see Job Information).

Closing date: 9.00am Monday 4th October 2024
