Package Description:
We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic individual to join our team as Computer Science Teacher & In-House Developer. This is a full-time hybrid role providing a unique opportunity to contribute both to high-quality Computer Science teaching and to the ongoing development of the College’s technical platforms and systems. The successful candidate will teach Computer Science classes and lead on in-house software and platform development projects that support teaching, learning and College operations. There will be an appropriate adjustment of the teaching timetable to ensure the post holder can effectively fulfil both the teaching and development responsibilities.
Students at the College are engaged in a world-class STEM education and demonstrate exceptional academic ability and motivation. Computer Science is a growing and high-performing subject within the College, with students regularly achieving outstanding outcomes and engaging in super-curricular projects, competitions, and research activity. Small class sizes allow teaching to be both rigorous and highly interactive, with scope to stretch students beyond the standard curriculum.
Alongside teaching, the post holder will play a key role in designing, building and maintaining internal software tools and integrations. This may include developing web applications or data interfaces, connecting systems to streamline workflows, extending the use of Microsoft and other educational platforms, and supporting colleagues in making effective use of technology. The role would suit either an experienced teacher with strong technical skills or a Computer Science graduate or developer who is keen to develop their teaching alongside practical, real-world development work in an educational setting.
Prior teaching experience or prior software development experience is not essential, and appropriate training and professional development will be provided to match the successful candidate’s background. We welcome applicants from both education and industry who bring strong core technical ability and a willingness to learn.
We reserve the right to interview applicants early and close this advertisement before the closing date if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.
The National Mathematics and Science College
The National Mathematics and Science College (NatMatSci) is the top specialist STEM college in the UK regularly appearing in the top 10 schools by A-level results. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects are more important today than they have ever been. For those students looking to excel in these areas, the specialist education we provide is designed to enable them to thrive both at A-level and beyond. We recognise that a high-quality specialist education must go beyond the narrow confines of the curriculum and must expose our students to the breadth and joy contained within these subject areas in an integrated way. We are geared to help students learn how to think, not what to think, which will allow them to thrive at College, at the best Universities and beyond.
Academic Highlights
Over 50% of grades awarded A*, with over 80% A*/A in A-levels
Progression to leading universities – 20% gained places at Oxbridge over the last 3 years, over 50% at Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL or LSE Universities and all students gained offers at Russell Group universities
Lots of success in various national and international STEM competitions and olympiads, with at least one student a year representing the UK or their home country in an international Olympiad.
Alongside our academic focus, NatMatSci is known for excellent pastoral care and a warm, supportive community. With most students boarding, the College offers a structured environment in which students learn to live and work well together, develop independence, and build strong friendships. Our genuinely international community — with students representing over 30 nationalities — enriches daily life both in and out of the classroom, broadening perspectives and creating a vibrant, inclusive culture where students support one another and thrive. This means students leave us not only with the academic credentials required to access top universities around the world, but also with the social and soft skills necessary to thrive when they get there.
