The Role

A progressive Secondary School in Exeter is seeking a professional, technologically minded, and highly organised Computer Science Teacher to join their expanding digital technologies team. This position is a fantastic opportunity for an educator who excels at teaching both software development architecture and digital theory, working within a department equipped with modern computing infrastructure.

The successful candidate will deliver a dynamic and challenging timetable across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5, preparing students for exceptional outcomes in computational thinking, algorithm design, cybersecurity frameworks, and computer systems networking. Beyond classroom teaching, you will be expected to construct precise student progress tracking logs, manage software license compliance parameters across the department's networks, update school tracking software, and actively lead the school’s competitive robotics clubs, web development initiatives, and regional coding hackathons.

You will support crisp communication with parents, university computer science faculties, and external tech partners, ensuring that all programming project moderation logs and student assessment profiles are processed with total accuracy. Strong administrative and organizational skills are crucial, as the role requires balancing technical debugging assistance with complex theoretical exam preparation within a busy secondary school framework.

The school is looking for a proactive, reliable professional who can break down complex programming syntax (such as Python, Java, or green-field HTML/CSS structures) into crisp, engaging, and high-impact lessons. Strong communication, data literacy, and a collaborative spirit are important to thriving within this highly driven academic team.
