Are you a skilled and experienced Computing teacher?

Do you have good KS5 teaching experience?

Would you be interested in taking on Head of Sixth form responsibilities?

We are working with an academy school in the Milton Keynes area to support their recruitment of a Computer Science teacher to join their department in January 2021.
