Description

Teacher of IT (with ability to teach Computer Science)

Permanent

Starting August 2024

Rochdale Sixth Form College (RSFC) opened in 2010 to address the significant underachievement in A Level performance in the borough. Since then it has raised achievement in the area dramatically and is recognised nationally as a centre of excellence. The college is rated Ofsted outstanding and, is consistently ranked as one of the highest performing colleges in the country according to the DfE's performance tables and national achievement rate tables.

Due to expansion and increase in student numbers, we are looking for a Teacher of IT. The RSFC IT department currently delivers the Pearsons RQF BTEC IT qualification and AQA A level Computer Science. The cohort for IT is approximately 75 students across year 12 and 13, with this expected to increase to around 100 students in September 2024. We have a dedicated suite of modern and well-resourced teaching rooms with state-of-the-art interactive screens in each classroom. Staff within the department have high standards and expectations, which has led to consistently achieving outstanding results, along with a 3-year average Alps grade 3 in IT. There are currently 4 members of staff in the department who teach a mixture of IT and Computer Science, with optional enrichment sessions in coding and cybersecurity. The successful candidate will be expected to teach IT, alongside the Computer Science that is part of the BTEC qualification.

You will be joining RSFC at a very exciting time in its development and there are always opportunities for career progression for hardworking and resilient colleagues.
