About this role

  • Lead teaching and learning – bring the trust’s knowledge-rich curriculum to life and set high expectations in every classroom.
  • Grow your team – coach, develop and inspire the colleagues you lead.
  • Raise the profile of Computing – build enrichment such as coding clubs, competitions and links with local employers, so students see where the subject can take them.
  • Drive outcomes – use assessment well to make sure every student, whatever their starting point, makes excellent progress.

Why join us?

  • You won’t start from scratch – a shared, carefully sequenced curriculum with lesson booklets for KS3, OCR GCSE Computer Science (J277) and OCR Creative iMedia (R093/R094), written by computing specialists in the trust.
  • Specialist support – subject-specific guidance and coaching from the trust’s Director of Computer Science.
  • A network of colleagues – collaborate with computing teachers across NET’s 17 secondary academies.
  • Trust-wide events for students – give your students the chance to compete, create and shine beyond the classroom at trust events such as Cyber North and the NET Game Dev Jam.
  • A career, not just a job – routes into trust-wide subject roles and senior leadership, supported by the NET Staff College.
