Computer Science Teacher
Canterbury, Kent | £34,068 – £52,834 (MPS/UPS) | Permanent, Full-time | September 2026
An opportunity for a passionate Computer Science Teacher to join a large, ambitious secondary school in the Canterbury area from September 2026.
Computing is a genuine strength at this school. GCSE uptake is high, the department is well resourced with established schemes of work, and the leadership team sees the subject as central to preparing students for a digital future — not an afterthought on the timetable.
You'll teach Computer Science across Key Stages 3 and 4, with the opportunity to teach at A Level if you have the experience and appetite for it. Beyond the classroom, there's real scope to shape the subject: contributing to curriculum development, running coding and computing enrichment clubs, and helping to grow uptake further at GCSE and beyond.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The school invests properly in its staff. Early Career Teachers receive a well-structured induction with meaningful mentoring, while experienced teachers will find a committed CPD programme and clear routes into middle leadership.
We're looking for someone with:
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent — applications from ECTs are warmly encouraged
- A degree in Computer Science or a closely related discipline
- Confidence teaching programming (Python preferred) and theoretical computing content
- High expectations of every student, and the belief that computing is for everyone
