Head of ICT and Computer Science

We are looking for an inspirational and forward-thinking existing Head of ICT and Computer Science or an ambitious teacher to lead the evolution of the curriculum. This is an exciting time to be leading a subject that plays such a crucial role of preparing students for our increasingly digital world.

ICT is currently delivered to KS3 and covers a range of topics. Computer science is a new course we introduced in September 2024 at GCSE but we are keen to make this a key part of our curriculum offer at KS4 and KS5. The successful candidate would also be required to teach some science lessons at KS3 or above.

The school was accredited as World Class in July 2021 and as such, we are committed to providing a world-class education for every student through a well-designed and balanced curriculum. Our established culture provides a calm, safe and stimulating learning environment.

Ethical leadership is at the core of all decision making at Southfield.  As such, staff are valued, treated with respect and afforded a diverse range of opportunities that come with professional trust. We place significant emphasis on working collegiately as a staff to share our expertise and subsequently enhance the learning experience with our students. Every member of the staff is involved in a variety of professional learning programmes that take place every Wednesday across the academic year.

You would be joining a friendly, hard-working team, with an ethos of collaborative planning and shared resources.  With our trust growing, we are likely to have many more career development opportunities coming up in future.

The post will commence as soon as possible, depending on candidate’s availability.
