This Role: We need a dynamic and motivated teacher of Business with enthusiasm for Vocational Education, to join our strong and successful teams within the Business, Economics and Computing Faculty.
Business is amongst the most popular subject choices at Key Stages 4 and 5 at JCoSS. We are extremely proud of the achievements of our students, which are founded on their hard work and the dedicated support of a cohesive group of colleagues.
The Faculty offers Business and Computing at GCSE and A level, and Economics at A level. We also offer Vocational Business courses at Level 3 (single and double Cambridge Technical) and teach an introductory KS3 Computing course to all students. The ideal candidate will offer enthusiasm and experience across one or more of these areas.
All staff are highly valued and we offer a supportive and friendly environment where students are well behaved and keen to learn. We are looking for a dynamic and motivated teacher. You will be a high performing practitioner, demonstrated by excellent results. We welcome applicants from teachers of any faith or none.
Please note that we offer ECTs employment for the last few weeks of the summer term
Our Ethos: If you think you know what working in a Jewish school might be like, be ready to think again. Our outward-looking and pluralist Jewish ethos combines an embrace of open-minded values with a deep love of the varied riches of Jewish tradition. The staff and leadership team includes different faiths and none at all levels, and the school has a culture of purposeful good humour and humanity. We are a school like no other.
Our Results: We have a track record of outstanding results. Students achieve excellent outcomes and make great progress. In 2023 46% of A level grades were at A*or A and more than 79% of Cambridge Technical grades were Distinction* or Distinction. 45% of GCSE grades were grade 7 or higher, with more than a quarter of the cohort achieving at least 7 GCSEs at grade 7 or better. Our ALPS grade has been consistently 2 at both A level and GCSE, and our ‘Progress 8’ score is consistently significantly above national average. Supported by a strong programme, students every year gain places at Oxbridge and for Medical and Veterinary Study, as well as for a wide range of specialisms and competitive courses at prestigious institutions.
Staff Benefits: We appoint on potential as well as experience, and we are committed to supporting staff development. Several non-teaching colleagues have trained with us as teachers; our rich CPL programme includes full induction for new teaching staff including NQTs, NPQH/SL/ML programmes, and financial support for MA courses, Action Research projects and many other opportunities. Additional responsibilities are always considered for suitable candidates and we offer NQTs employment for the last few weeks of the summer term. Our admissions policy includes priority places for the children of all staff*. Our website details a huge number and variety of staff wellbeing initiatives.
* (Children, Jewish and non-Jewish, of JCoSS staff who have a permanent contract of employment and have completed two years of service on the last day of the summer term of the academic year prior to application)
Our Location & Community: The school is in beautiful new £50m buildings overlooking the Green Belt. It is easily accessible from Northern, Piccadilly and Overground rail links, public buses run past the entrance and a school coach service (available to staff) serves our whole catchment area. We attract students from eloquent and supportive communities across North London and Hertfordshire.
JCoSS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all its staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All posts are subject to satisfactory enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) clearance.
