IT & Computer Science Teacher - SEMH Setting

IT & Computer Science Teacher - SEMH Setting - Ipswich
Start: September 2026 (or sooner for the right candidate)

A specialist SEMH school in Ipswich is seeking an IT & Computer Science Teacher to deliver a practical, engaging, and future-focused curriculum. This is an excellent opportunity to use technology as a tool to re-engage students, build confidence, and develop real-world digital skills.

This role is ideal for a teacher who understands that progress in this setting isn''t just academic, it''s about routine, trust, and transferable skills.

The Role:

• Deliver IT and Computer Science lessons (e.g. digital skills, coding, basic networking, creative computing)
• Engage students through practical, hands-on learning with clear outcomes
• Support students with SEMH needs to build confidence and consistency
• Contribute to a vocational and skills-based curriculum
• Work closely with pastoral teams to support behaviour and progress

You:

• Qualified teacher or experienced instructor in IT / Computer Science
• Confident managing behaviour and adapting to SEMH needs
• Able to break down technical concepts into accessible, engaging lessons
• Passionate about preparing students for digital careers and further education
• Resilient, consistent, and solutions-focused

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Smaller class sizes with strong in-class support
• Clear behaviour systems and leadership backing
• Opportunity to shape a growing digital and vocational offer
• A school that prioritises engagement, employability, and life skills
• Real impact on students who benefit from alternative pathways
