Teacher of Computer Science (Partnerships) in Newcastle upon Tyne

We have an exceptionally exciting opportunity for an experienced Teacher of Computer Science to join our RGS Partnerships Team. This comes about thanks to very generous and visionary funding of local business, Neptune North.

The role will be two-fold: teaching students in our school but principally working with students and teachers from other local schools on Computing Partnership projects. This is a fixed term, 2-year post, with scope to continue beyond 2 years if demonstrable impact leads to continuance of funding.

The successful candidate will work alongside our existing team of 8 Partnership teachers across STEM and Sport. We anticipate the role will largely involve working with very able sixth form students. As such, this role is suited to a practitioner with a high level of Subject Knowledge and experience of teaching at Key Stage 5.

The expectation is that you will be based at RGS and may take on a small amount of teaching in the school, releasing an existing member of the department for outreach activities. The remaining, and majority, of your teaching time will be dedicated to projects aimed at raising attainment and improving access to opportunities among children from local state-funded schools and colleges.

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 role is fully funded to 0.5 FTE and the postholder would be under the guidance and support of the Head of Computing, while reporting 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.

The RGS has its own salary scale (which is above national pay scales for teachers). Excellent benefits available - see job information for full details.
