Early Career Teacher of Business & Economics

Bede’s is seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic Early Career Teacher of Business Studies and/or Economics. Our new teacher will have the talent to help every pupil to achieve their best possible results at GCSE and A Level. You will be determined to inspire young people, and to help inculcate a love of your subject amongst your pupils. You will be able to enjoy working with gifted pupils who aspire to study at the very highest level as much as you enjoy working with those who find the subject particularly taxing.  

Business Studies & Economics are under the aegis of the Head of Department, Mr Barry Jackson. Together with History, Government & Politics; Geography; and Religion & Philosophy the departments form the Faculty of Social Science, Humanities and the Arts for People and the Economy (SHAPE). You will be eager to be a part of a successful faculty, teaching exciting and innovative lessons, and contributing outside the classroom as well. 

The department delivers courses in CIE Business Studies at GCSE and A level as well as CIE Economics at GCSE and A level. The department works closely with the Faculty of Inquiry Learning to deliver BTEC Level 2 and Level 3 in Business as well as BTEC Marketing at Level 3. We also offer pupils a broad extra-curricular programme including the Bede’s Enterprise Challenge and trips to a range of Businesses, as well as offering a variety of Masterclasses, support sessions and enrichment groups. You will be excited to contribute to, and extend, this excellent offer.

We are seeking an Early Career Teacher who will be ready to embark on the first year of the two year ECT programme in September, 2023. Early Career Teachers will enjoy a generous level of remission on their timetable, above the level offered in other schools. They will also benefit from the expert professional mentorship of Ms Yvette Stainsby, our dedicated Head of Teacher Development. Residential accommodation may be available for a suitable candidate in exchange for the completion of duties in one of our boarding houses. You will join a staff who come from an enormous variety of backgrounds, personal, educational and professional.

Bede’s is a busy, energetic and friendly school set in beautiful surroundings. We enjoy excellent facilities and resources and we offer superb opportunities for the personal and professional development of our teachers.
