Teacher of Economics and/or Business

Overview

We are looking for either a graduate or an experienced teacher to join our collaborative and successful Economics department.

We would also accept applications from Teachers who can teach combined Economics and Business across both Departments. The position demands high professional standards and excellent subject knowledge in order to teach Economics and or Business at A level.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fun, forward-thinking school which is committed to academic excellence; continual development of staff; and innovative teaching and learning strategies. This is within the context of outstanding pastoral care and co-curricular provision to ensure the best possible holistic pupil experience.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will play a full and active role in the pastoral and co-curricular life of the School, although this can be negotiated at interview if flexible working is required.

Qualifications & Development

If you like to work collaboratively and welcome the opportunity to develop as a practitioner, we offer a comprehensive induction and CPD programme for all levels of staff, competitive remuneration package, support with teacher training for unqualified teachers and outstanding, well-equipped facilities.

St John's School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants must be willing to undergo safeguarding screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The School may carry out online searches on shortlisted candidates and all applications will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social media accounts, as part of their application.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
