Computer Science Teacher, ETHOS Education

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.

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.

• 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

The school is easily reached from Canterbury, Whitstable, Faversham and the wider East Kent area, with good rail connections.

Ethos Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check and full pre‑employment vetting in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education.
