What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you an enthusiastic and inspiring Teacher of Computer Science? If so, you will be interested in the opportunity that we currently have available at Ossett Academy from January 2025. The role has become available due to adding further capacity to our BICTE department as we offer Digital Production, Design & Development T-Level qualifications. Having experience or the desire to teach these would be beneficial.
Ossett Academy is an Ofsted ‘good’ rated secondary academy with great facilities and a fantastic BICTE department. We also have a standalone Accord Sixth Form building on-site, meaning that colleagues also have the possibility of teaching at A-Level if this is an area of interest or development.
Your role will involve shaping the curriculum to meet the needs of our diverse student body and ensuring alignment with industry standards. Guiding students through their T Level qualifications, you will provide essential support as they develop practical skills relevant to the digital sector.
You will have a deep interest in the attainment of pupils at every ability level and show vigour and initiative. The BICTE department at the Academy are an outstanding team of professionals who are vibrant and forward thinking.
We value challenge and active participation. The successful applicant will relentlessly pursue instilling an interest in their subject amongst all pupils; they will be innovative, with demonstrable resilience, vision and energy.
Applications are welcomed from teachers across the experience range. We offer an extensive programme of academy and Trust Professional Development to ensure all colleagues continue to develop as practitioners and have opportunities to work collaboratively across subjects and across academies within our Trust.
Early Career Teachers (ECTs) will have an experienced subject mentor assigned from day one in post. Colleagues are supported through their early career years with regular check ins from line managers and opportunities to meet with other ECTs across the Trust and colleagues from HR where any further support and guidance may be required. We are an inclusive academy and Trust and embrace opportunities to develop all colleagues on their journey to success.
If you have the vision and skills to deliver inspirational teaching whilst having the focus and drive to ensure successful outcomes are reached, we’d love to hear from you.
