Subject Leader: Business

Here at Lode Heath School, our aim, quite simply, is to work together to achieve the best for everyone in our school family.

We’re on a mission to deliver exceptional teaching and learning for all of our students. Now’s your opportunity to help us achieve our ambitious goals as you lead on the delivery of business-related subjects within our IT & Business Faculty. Our business qualifications are highly valued and over-subscribed, and we are seeking a talented leader driven by high expectations and uncompromising ambition for our students to build on this.

As an established, successful and experienced teacher, we understand you want to help every student, irrespective of their background or abilities, to succeed. In short, you want to make a positive difference to your students’ lives. You will promote high standards of behaviour for and attitudes to learning and will support students in their academic and personal needs. You will take a rigorous approach towards the commitment to protect and nurture students at Lode Heath School in keeping with agreed child protection, safeguarding, attendance and pastoral care policies.

As Subject Leader of Business, you will be an excellent classroom practitioner who is equipped to ensure high attainment and positive learning experiences for our students in Key Stage 4 across our qualifications, which are currently GCSE Business Studies and the Cambridge National Certificate in Enterprise and Marketing. We are keen to explore other potential qualification opportunities which will support our students to succeed even more.

At Lode Heath School, we also want to support you in achieving our aims, so we will provide you with outstanding support and development that’s shaped to meet your needs and aspirations so you can, in turn, do the same for others. We offer first-rate induction and CPD programmes that include links with our Trust colleagues, plus the chance to work directly with other Subject Leaders, Lead Practitioners and Senior Leaders.

If you’d like to be part of our exciting future, you will need to share our belief in educating the whole person – and in helping every student, irrespective of their background or abilities, to build the skills, confidence and independence they need to thrive in higher education and the workplace.

There’s an exceptional environment waiting for you outside of work, too. One of the most prosperous towns in the Midlands, Solihull offers plenty of superb amenities, from its thriving shopping centre through to lively bars and first-class restaurants. Close to Birmingham Airport, the NEC and the Resorts World, it also has excellent transport links to Birmingham city centre and beyond.
