Teacher of Business and Computing in Crawley

(Y) Our Opportunity

We are looking for a dedicated and inspiring Teacher of Business / Computing who brings energy, subject passion, and purpose to our team at Thomas Bennett Community College. We want someone ready to motivate, challenge, and empower our students every single day.

In our Trust, a subject teacher is far more than an instructor; you are a key architect in building young people’s confidence, independence, and agency. We are seeking an enthusiastic, proactive practitioner who can deliver well-structured, stimulating lessons, foster curiosity and exploration, and break down barriers so that every learner achieves success.

Whether you are an established practitioner looking for your next challenge or an ambitious teacher seeking a supportive school community where you can grow, your talent and individuality will be valued here. We do not expect candidates to have in-depth experience of every single element on application; we provide the support, flexibility, and coaching to help you thrive and teach your way.

Together, let’s unlock potential and ensure every student gets their chance to shine.

The Ideal Teacher of Business / Computing

The ideal candidate will be someone who:

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a relevant degree.

• Demonstrates evidence of excellent teaching practice, strong subject and curriculum knowledge, and high expectations for student progress and attainment.

• Creates a stimulating, purposeful classroom environment where curiosity, questioning, and positive behaviour for learning are actively fostered.

• Confidently adapts teaching and learning strategies to meet diverse needs, making appropriate provision for students with SEND, EAL, and high prior attainment.

• Uses accurate assessment, monitoring, and reporting to sustain momentum and drive successful outcomes.

• Collaborates effectively with colleagues, support staff, and parents/carers to enrich the wider curriculum and school community.

• Is resilient, reflective, and open to continuous professional development, coaching, and collaborative improvement.
