Job details
Required from September 2025
We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher of computer science and ICT to join an innovative, vibrant and supportive department where teachers are committed to developing learning strategies which challenge and interest all of our students.
The successful candidate will join a thriving vocational faculty in a school where there is strong uptake of both computer science and ICT courses at both key stage four and key stage five. Computing is a popular subject, with well attended clubs, including a sponsored robotics club that has been able to enter two teams into national competitions. Our Sixth Form students play an active role in these extracurricular activities and have an excellent track record of moving onto Russell Group universities and competitive degree apprenticeships. Our vocational faculty comprises four teachers, and is based in a dedicated block with three full-size computer suites and one smaller computer suite for Sixth Form teaching. There will be an opportunity for a leadership role within this faculty and we will be happy to discuss this with applicants.
You will possess energy, enthusiasm and the desire to inspire a love of the computing. You will be responsible for delivering computer science and ICT lessons in line with relevant curriculum requirements, ensuring high standards of teaching and learning are maintained, whilst collaborating with the wider vocational faculty to sustain and maximise student progress.
We are committed to developing our staff through first class induction and high-quality professional development. As a result, a large proportion of JMHS staff have achieved promotion to middle and senior leadership positions.
JMHS was last inspected by OFSTED in November 2022 who confirmed our good grading and whose comments included:
- Pupils behave well. They are polite to their teachers and considerate of their peers.
- Parents rate teachers’ high expectations because they push pupils to do more. Many say teachers go ‘above and beyond’ for their children.
- Pupils can do unusual stuff at this exciting school
- School leaders have constructed a rich and engaging curriculum
JMHS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful candidate will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service enhanced check and further pre-employment checks will be conducted in accordance with KCSIE. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children. All shortlisted candidates will be subject to a Google search.
