Archbishop Beck Catholic College is an Archdiocesan school and we pride ourselves on our strong Catholic ethos. We are based in North Liverpool and have 1200 students on roll across year groups 7 - 13. The College is heavily over-subscribed and very well respected by the local community.

In our recent Ofsted inspection in November 2021, we were judged ‘Good’ in all aspects.

We promote an atmosphere where high standards of behaviour, respect and academic achievement are expected.

Governors are seeking a dynamic, enthusiastic teacher of IT/Computing to join our dedicated team.

We are a thriving department with a proven track record of success both at GCSE and ‘A’ level. We have a significant number of students opting to study IT at ‘A’ level which is testament to the students’ enjoyment of the subject in KS3 and KS4.

This role offers the opportunity to join a team of practitioners who always seek the highest standards. The successful candidate must share this vision as well having a desire to share their love of IT and Computing.

Following our recent ’Good’ at Ofsted, the position will allow the successful candidate to join a team of practitioners with a proven record of improvement and success. We have a deep understanding of developing and deepening IT and Computing skills and knowledge in order to help students progress.
