This post provides an excellent opportunity for a talented and ambitious Business Teacher seeking to develop their career into leadership. 

We are seeking to appoint a passionate and inspirational teacher to lead the Business Faculty within the school, including oversight of Computing.

Business Studies is a very popular subject choice within the school and we offer both the Extended Certificate and Diploma level qualifications at KS5.  The ability to teach Business Studies at KS4 and KS5 is essential along with some KS3 Computing.  The ability to teach KS4 Computing is desirable but not essential.

We are looking for someone to build on the success already established with our ‘Starred pathways’ at KS5 and bring creative ideas around business and enterprise.  The successful candidate will continue to deliver improved outcomes for our young people, whilst enthusing them through the subject content. The position is suitable for both experienced Heads of Department and teachers that are looking for their first middle leadership role/ Head of Department position. 

At St Katherine’s we are committed to staff development and offer a comprehensive Teaching and Learning CPD programme for excellent professional development and to prepare staff for future progression.  

St Katherine’s is a vibrant, medium sized 11 – 19 mixed comprehensive school and part of Cathedral Schools Trust.  We are situated on the edge of Bristol in a beautiful rural setting.  The majority of our students live in Bristol and make a positive choice to travel out of the city each day to enjoy the wealth of opportunities that St Katherine’s has to offer. Everyone at St Katherine’s believes in pursuing excellence through focusing on high quality teaching and we work tirelessly to educate our young people for academic success and life beyond.

Further information about the school, the post and how to apply can be found on the school website.

St Katherine’s is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The post is subject to DBS Barred list and Enhanced Disclosure checks.
