For an April 2025 start (with the possibility of a negotiable January or September 2025 start) Cheltenham College seeks to appoint a well-qualified, Teacher and Head of Department. The post-holder will teach Computing and Computer Science across the ability range up to A Level and lead a well-resourced department where grades are consistently high, and students go on to top tier Universities.

This is an exciting time to join College and be part of the development of teaching and learning within the school. A willingness to play a role in the Digital Strategy Group and shape how teachers throughout College use digital technology in the classroom will be an advantage. The opportunity to take on an additional Digital Lead role within the school may be offered to a suitably qualified candidate. This would be a post with whole-school strategic responsibility.

The Department

The Computing Department is thriving and is becoming increasingly popular with a high percentage of pupils taking the subject. The ability to program in Python at a competent level is a must, with OOP being a requirement for A Level (other programming languages will also be considered).

This role will bring an opportunity to be involved in developing schemes of work for Year 9 pupils in Computing, ICT and digital health.

Working at Cheltenham College

As staff, we enjoy the very wide range of activities that our pupils enjoy, with access to wonderful sports facilities for you and your family, a beautiful Common room, Library, full IT provision, a thriving staff consultation committee and many staff social events. You will also have a tailored professional development programme and extensive support from our dedicated HR team.

Whilst we may seem a large organisation, we operate very much as a close community with a family feel. As a new member of staff, you will find that our focus lies very much in developing you as an individual. Just as we expect you to go the extra mile for your pupils, we will engage with your own professional and personal development from the start. We will ensure that you enjoy and feel valued in your new role as quickly as possible.

In addition to teaching their subject(s), members of Common Room are expected to act as tutors, be attached to a day or boarding Houses and will wish to contribute to College’s rich co-curricular programme.

There is potential to take up accommodation on site as a Resident Tutor in one of our Boarding Houses.
