This co-educational Independent day and boarding school in North Essex is looking to appoint a suitably qualified, creative and enthusiastic teacher to work within our Computer Science team.

The successful person must be committed to upholding our values in delivering excellent teaching and learning to our pupils.
We are seeking a dynamic and passionate Computer Science teacher to join our team across both the Prep and Senior School (KS3, KS4, KS5). This is an incredible opportunity for someone with deep knowledge of algorithms, Python programming, cyber security, and networks, who is eager to inspire and lead students to thrive in the world of technology. As a school, we offer exciting opportunities for students to engage in robotics, video game design, eSports, and other competitive computing arenas, with the goal of competing at the national and international level. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in these initiatives and help students excel in these fields. Our Computer Science department is equipped with a state-of-the-art suite of equipment, providing an inspiring and cutting-edge environment for both teaching and learning. As part of our team, you’ll play a key role in helping students develop the digital literacy skills that will equip them for success in the 21st century.
Applications are welcome from NQTs, or those with suitable expertise looking to enter the profession, as well as more experienced teachers: the school has an excellent support programme for teachers starting their careers and works with ISTIP to enable NQTs to be awarded full QTS.
