Are you a passionate Computer Science Teacher looking for a part-time teaching opportunity in Maidstone?

A well-established and supportive secondary school in Maidstone, Kent is looking to appoint an enthusiastic Teacher of Computer Science to join its department on a part-time basis, working 2 days per week (0.4).

The school is looking for a committed and motivated teacher who has a genuine passion for Computer Science and can inspire pupils through engaging, challenging and well-planned lessons.

This is an excellent opportunity for either an experienced teacher seeking a part-time position or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking to develop their career within a supportive and collaborative secondary school environment.

The Role

As a Teacher of Computer Science, you will:

  • Plan and deliver engaging Computer Science lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4, with opportunities to teach KS5 where appropriate.
  • Deliver challenging and well organised lessons that support pupils across a range of abilities.
  • Develop pupils' knowledge, confidence and understanding of Computer Science.
  • Use a range of teaching strategies, resources and assessment methods to support pupil progress.
  • Assess pupils regularly and provide constructive feedback to help them improve.
  • Maintain high expectations for behaviour, engagement and academic achievement.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues within the Computer Science department.
  • Communicate effectively with parents, carers and other stakeholders regarding pupil progress.
  • Contribute positively to the wider school community.
The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a teacher who:

  • Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an appropriate UK-recognised teaching qualification.
  • Has a relevant degree in Computer Science or a related subject.
  • Has experience teaching Computer Science within a secondary school setting, either through employment or teacher training placements.
  • Can confidently teach Computer Science at KS3 and KS4 / GCSE level.
  • Has strong and up-to date subject knowledge.
  • Understands the Computer Science curriculum and appropriate approaches to assessment.
  • Can differentiate and adapt lessons to meet the needs of pupils across a range of abilities.
  • Has confident classroom and behaviour management skills.
  • Has high expectations for pupil achievement and progress.
  • Is enthusiastic, dedicated and keen to work as part of a collaborative team.
  • Is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

Experience teaching Computer Science at KS5 would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why Apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a welcoming and supportive secondary school that is committed to providing opportunities for both its pupils and staff.

The 2-day-per-week timetable could particularly suit an experienced teacher looking to reduce their working week, a teacher returning to the classroom, an ECT looking for a part time opportunity, or a Computer Science specialist balancing teaching with other commitments.
