St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School is looking to recruit, a creative, conscientious, and committed Head of Computer Science to promote and inspire a love for, and excellence in this important academic discipline. We are looking for someone who understands how important Computer Science is both in school and beyond as we prepare our boys to be men fit for the 21st century.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about the Computer Science curriculum and how this can be taught in an inspiring way to maximise outcomes, whilst both instilling and developing a love for the subject.
