Job overview
Teach the future of computing for a historic college.
Established almost 500 years ago, Collyer’s is forward thinking in every way – we’re one of the leading sixth form colleges in the country and the number one choice for A levels in West Sussex. Our achievements speak for themselves: 59% of our students achieve an A*, A or B grade, and an amazing 90% who continue to university graduate with a first-class or 2.1 degree.
Our Computing department continues to go from strength to strength and offers courses including a Digital Production, Design and Development T level, Computer Science A level and IT BTEC.
Spending approximately 14.5 hours a week teaching over three days, you will nurture a lifelong love of technology and ensure that our students realise their full potential. Equally importantly, you will proactively develop our curriculum to ensure that we remain at the cutting edge, meaning you will enjoy making a real impact on all aspects of our computing offering.
We are open-minded about your level of experience and are happy to consider early career teachers for this position. However, it’s vital that you hold a good IT-related degree and a recognised teaching qualification and have considerable expertise in programming. A background in the digital industry would also be useful, possibly in software development, alongside a good understanding of project methodologies and algorithms. Familiarity with teaching T level and A level computing courses would be advantageous but is not essential.
A great college deserves a great location, and we can certainly boast that: we’re close to the centre of the historic market town of Horsham and well under an hour from London by train. With more than 100 teachers and another 100+ support staff, we’re a supportive community not just a place to work, and it’s possible that your contract could be extended so you can build a long-term career with us.

About The College of Richard Collyer
The College of Richard Collyer in Horsham, ‘Collyer’s’, is one of the leading sixth form colleges in the country and the no.1 choice for A Levels in West Sussex. The college has an attractive campus and classrooms are well resourced, with ambitious plans for growth in the coming years that are already started. There is a collegiate and professional ethos amongst staff and students within which excellent teaching and learning can flourish.
The College has a long history of commitment to education whilst also seeking to remain forward-thinking. It was founded as a school nearly five hundred years ago under the terms of the will of a prominent member of the Mercers’ Company in the City of London. Ever since the Mercers’ Company and the Parish of Horsham have been involved in its governance and are represented on the Governing Body. In 1976 Collyer’s became a sixth form college and remains a designated sixth form college and a full member of the Sixth Form Colleges’ Association and the Association of Colleges.
The College provides education for over 2,600 young people in the 16-19 age range. Around half of each year’s intake comes from the four partner 11-16 schools in Horsham: Forest, Millais, Tanbridge House and Bohunt. Many others come from a wide range of schools which are further afield, including the independent as well as the maintained sector. Collyer’s has a very successful and consistent record in external examinations. In 2024 the A level high grade rate (A*-B) was 59%. Results across our other course types such as vocational, technical, transition and GCSE are equally strong. Collyer’s also runs Adult Education and Skills courses in the evenings with over 300 students studying a range of professional and recreational adult learning courses, ranging from art to accounting.
Collyer’s is situated near the centre of Horsham, within easy reach of the town centre and railway station. We currently employ 117 teachers and 124 support staff, each with a mix of full-time and part-time posts. The college is organised for teaching into three Faculties, nearly all teachers also act as personal tutors for up to 24 students organised into six houses led by a Head of House. The majority of our students take A Level or vocational Level 3 courses and go on to further and higher study or employment. Intermediate Level courses including BTEC Level 2 and GCSE are also offered. A wide range of enrichment activities, Performing Arts, Sport and Recreation are recommended to provide a broad and balanced programme for students.
Support staff provide vital services for the effective running of the college in Administration, Finance, HR, Information and Learning Technology, Curriculum Support, Library, Catering and Premises.
The College is committed to continuing professional development for staff. Applications are welcomed regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, religion, belief or sexuality.
Collyer’s is a rewarding and stimulating place in which to work, with a strong identity and sense of community. We look forward to receiving your application if you would like to join us.
