Teacher of Computing
Salary: MPS/UPS
Type: Permanent
The Brian Clarke Academy is looking to appoint an exceptional teacher with the ability to teach Computing at Key Stage 3 and 4. The school opened with a founding team of staff in September 2022 to 240 young people and will continue to grow annually to a student body of 1,200.
As Teacher of Computing, you will be joining a highly motivated team of teachers. Our Computing curriculum has been designed to ensure depth of understanding for all students and our team works collaboratively with a focus on the latest pedagogical ideas and methods.
Centralised but flexible resource planning enables teachers to teach responsively, and a sensible assessment and feedback policy ensures that students make progress at every stage, allowing teachers to focus on planning excellent explanations and learning sequences.
This post at a new school is the opportunity that education professionals dream about, being part of a talented and committed staff that is growing a school from Year 7 up; supporting the development of its ethos and embedding that in the community of the school; having the benefit of a brand-new building with all the facilities and supported by a local, successful and experienced Trust.
In brief, we are looking for:
1. A teacher committed to ambition, excellence, and community, who will work with the Senior Leadership Team to drive the growth and development of The Brian Clarke CE Academy. You will play a key role in driving BCA to become an outstanding provider for young people, and continue to be a school where staff, who are committed and ambitious for young people, take pride in and enjoy their work.
2. An inspiring, informed educator with a clear understanding of what makes outstanding educational provision for all, and the ability, understanding, and experience to lead, develop and manage a staff team to achieve this.
3. Someone who will go the extra mile for students, not because they are asked to but because they want to; someone who will do their utmost to ensure all our students progress to the future destinations of their choice.
4. Someone who will inspire students and the staff they work with, and build strong relationships with our parents, carers and community partners.
We offer:
1. Opportunities for professional development in a growing Trust.
2. A strong school community that places children, families and staff at the heart of everything we do.
3. A supportive team who will work with and alongside you to achieve the very best.
4. Teachers’ career average pension scheme with a generous employer contribution.
5. Central Oldham location, close to good transport networks, less than 7 minutes from nearest bus or tram stops.
