Job description

At OFG, we work smarter so you can spend more time doing what makes you happy!

How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four?

Our colleagues' wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we're always looking for new ways to improve everyone's work/life balance. We're taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).

Job Title: Computer Science Teacher

Salary: Up to GBP42,000 per annum depending on experience

Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday

Contract: Permanent, Term Time only

Start Date: September 2025

UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.

As part of our continued growth, we now have a Computer Science Teacher to join our close-knit team at Meadowcroft School located in Wakefield.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Computer Science Teacher to join our fantastic team at Meadowcroft. You will take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of the school curriculum in a way that maximises children's achievement and ability to develop.

This is a great opportunity for a Computer Science Teacher who wants to spend less time on paperwork and more time developing creative learning opportunities for children with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected, and involved in as many decisions as possible.

When it comes to looking after our children, we never settle for second best. We are looking for a Computer Science Teacher who shares our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK to be happy and to make their way in the world.

Whilst previous experience of working in an SEN environment would be desirable, excellent teaching skills and the right motivation, personal qualities, and levels of resilience are just as important.

Essential:

• Must be able to deliver coding
• Experience in delivering e-sports is desirable but not essential
• UK QTS or equivalent
