Head of Business Studies

Required from September 2023 or January 2024

Full time/permanent

St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School is seeking to appoint an outstanding head of department who specialises in business studies with the ability to teach economics considered to be an advantage. Our successful business and economics department strives to give pupils and students a well-rounded understanding of the business world. We deliver a stimulating learning experience where theories are applied to the word of today and a broad range of transferable skills are taught through excellent teaching in preparation for further study and/or working life.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about the business studies curriculum and how this can be taught in an inspiring way to maximise outcomes, whilst both instilling and developing a love for the subject. We are looking for someone who will inspire our pupils/students and spark their passion for the subject. Above all, we are looking for someone who will help our boys become better men and show them the difference that business studies can make in the world. The ability to extend pupils’ engagement beyond the school day, through co-curricular activities would be an advantage.

This is an opportunity to lead a well-established, aspirational and high performing department in an all-boys Catholic School that has enjoyed a reputation as a centre of educational excellence for over one hundred years. We welcome applications from both experienced leaders and outstanding business studies and economics teachers ready for the challenges of a leadership post.
