Computing Tutor

We are looking for individuals who can inspire and deliver outstanding lessons for our T level and BTEC digital technologies students. The successful applicant will join our computing team of tutors and will be responsible for the delivery of our computing curriculum delivering modules on topics such as Project management, Network administration, Database design/administration, Cloud computing, Cyber security and programming.
