The Role

A progressive Secondary School in Exeter is seeking a professional, highly analytical, and exceptionally organised Computer Science Teacher to join their prominent STEM faculty. This is a premier opportunity to step into a heavily funded department where software engineering, digital architecture, and computational thinking are championed across all key stages.

The successful candidate will deliver a dynamic and challenging timetable across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5. The curriculum covers computational logic, algorithm design, data representation, and software programming syntax (such as Python) at GCSE, alongside advanced modules in software development architecture, network system parameters, database engineering, and cyber security frameworks at A-Level. Beyond standard lessons, you will be expected to construct precise student tracking portfolios, update secure school databases, manage hardware lab asset logs, and actively coordinate the school's robotics leagues, network hackathons, and digital computing societies.

You will support crisp communication with parents, external examination boards, and local technology networks, ensuring all practical coding projects and theoretical exam logs are processed with total accuracy. Strong administrative skills are a prerequisite to balancing fast-paced practical debugging cycles with systematic tracking logs.
