By role
5 agencies in the directory say they recruit computing teachers for international schools, including Alliance Recruitment Agency, International Teachers Plus and Teachers in UAE.
Computing and ICT teaching abroad is shaped by one question: does the school treat the subject as a qualification or as a skill taught across the curriculum? In some schools it is a timetabled course with an exam at the end. In others it is a lab session or a whole-school digital strategy run by one person.
That difference changes the job you are applying for and the credentials the recruiter will ask to see.
Titles vary: teacher of computing, head of digital learning, ICT coordinator, technology integrator. Ask the agency to describe the timetable in lessons per week, the age ranges and who owns the school network.
Some posts mix teaching with IT support or learning technology leadership. If you do not want that, say so early.
If you are coming from industry and not yet qualified, the iQTS route lets you train for pupils aged 11 to 18 in the subjects taught in English secondary schools, with at least 24 weeks in a school in your own country.
For leadership beyond the classroom, the leading teaching and leading teacher development NPQs listed by GOV.UK give a structure for training staff. Courses last from 12 to 22 months, according to the same page, so allow time to complete one.

Sometimes. Many international schools offer Cambridge or IB computer science, and some still run ICT as a skills course. The advert or the agency should say which.
Schools decide for themselves. QTS is common in British-curriculum schools and less so elsewhere.
Some people do through iQTS, which does not need teaching experience, though it does need a bachelor's degree and GCSE grade 4 equivalent in maths.
