Detail

Teacher of Computer Science (Partnerships)

Part Time (0.5) Fixed Term required from January 2027 or sooner

We have an exceptionally exciting and unique opportunity for an experienced Teacher of Computer Science to join our RGS Partnerships Team. The role will principally involve working with students and teachers from other local schools on Computing Partnership projects, as well as some mentoring of non-specialists. As such, this role is not suited to a new teacher to the profession, but rather someone with deep experience of the curriculum across Key Stages 3 and 4.

This is a fixed term post until July 2027, with scope to continue beyond if demonstrable impact leads to new funding. The successful candidate will work alongside our existing team of 9 Partnership teachers across STEM and Sport.

The expectation is that you will be based at RGS but working largely in other schools during your days of employment. Your 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 spread of the 0.5 FTE working days can be flexible for the right candidate. The postholder would be under the guidance and support of the Head of Computing, while reporting directly to the Director of Partnerships.

Being ‘willing to go the extra mile’ is a major part of the role for all teachers at the RGS, not merely in specialist activities but in a huge range of co-curricular sporting, artistic and cultural work. We are keen to invite applications from those who would like to make their own distinctive contribution to this ethos. We very much value colleagues who are willing to contribute to our co-curricular program.

Start Date: January 2027 or sooner

Contract Type: Fixed Term until July 2027 initially

Salary: The RGS has its own salary scale (which is above national pay scales for teachers).

Closing Date: 9.00am Thursday 1st October 2026
