Background to the post
This is an exciting time for the teaching of Computer Science and IT courses at Worthing College. Computer Science A Level was launched in September 2017. We anticipate that this will be a popular course providing opportunity for growth in future years. Vocational IT courses offered by the team are also popular in the college. This course is also going through a specification change and offers the opportunity to shape and develop a new approach to the teaching of vocational IT. The staff work very closely together and the successful applicant would be expected to work flexibly and as an enthusiastic member of the Maths and Computer Science team. Ideally the successful applicant will initially teach one class of AS computer science and one class of 1 st year IT (a total of 8 hours). However this could be flexible for the right candidate.
Worthing College STEM Academy launched in October 2017 and the science and maths teams work together to offer many enrichment activities for students studying STEM subjects and also organise activities for local schools.
