Job description

With an exceptional reputation both locally and nationally, Reigate College focuses on excellent teaching, learning and support to make it one of the best sixth form colleges in the country.

The Post

The College is seeking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic, and motivated teacher to join the highly successful Computer Science and IT Department.

The post is available from 24 August 2026 on a permanent, part‑time basis (57.14%). However, a full‑time position would be available if the successful applicant was able to offer a second subject i.e. Maths or Physics. The post would equally suit an experienced or Early Careers Teacher (ECT). For ECTs, a full programme of training and development will be provided.

All new members of staff receive mentors to help them settle into the College. This post provides an exciting opportunity for those wishing to specialise in sixth form education. Candidates who have little or no experience teaching in post‑16 are still encouraged to apply, as the Department can support those wishing to make the transition to sixth form teaching.

The Department

The Department is housed in specialist facilities in the Priory Building. The team consists of three other members of teaching staff who work in a collaborative style, contributing to central teaching resources. Students regularly progress onto university courses for Computer Science, Computing, Game Design and Business.

Courses

• A Level Computer Science
• Cambridge AAQ Computing: Application Development

The main programming language used for A Level Computer Science is Python.

Salary

The salary for this post is up to £53,232 per annum (FTE).

The contact time for a full‑time teacher is 21 hours per week (20 hours teaching and 1 hour Tutor). ECTs receive a 5% or 10% reduction on their timetable depending on whether they are a first or second year ECT.
