Teacher of Business (Fixed Term) - Graduate Teacher Programme

GRADUATE TEACHING PROGRAMME 

We are looking for an enthusiastic graduate who is interested in starting their career in teaching Business. This post would suit a recent graduate or someone wishing to retrain.

We would also accept applications from current PGCE students, as well as ECTs.

We are offering a two-year paid PGCE placement as a teacher of Business Studies. You will combine a full-time role teaching in a leading national A Level centre in the heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne alongside a team of professionals, whilst completing your PGCE one evening per week, being paid a competitive full time graduate salary. 

This offer comprises: 

• A full-time graduate salary and contribution towards the teachers’ pension scheme. 

• Mentoring from an expert teacher and a wider department support to develop subject specific pedagogy, in addition to classroom-based skills.

• A fully funded two-year part time PGCE programme provided by the Newcastle School of Education within Newcastle College University Centre. 

• Working in a highly professional Sixth Form College, teaching 16 to 19 year olds in an academic environment with a key focus on progression to higher Education and graduate careers. 

• Opportunities for further career development and progression into a permanent position.

• An inclusive and welcoming community 

This Sixth Form focused programme involves practical teaching of A-levels from the outset. We are experienced in providing this opportunity and have an outstanding track record of training excellent practitioners. The majority of teachers who have completed their PGCE as a paid placement with us have continued into full time permanent teaching roles.

Business Studies and Economics are very popular courses, with over 200 students currently studying these subjects at A Level. Newcastle Sixth Form College is the largest provider of A Levels in Newcastle-upon -Tyne with around 1,400 students on a full-time academic programme. 

We were recently graded a Good Provider (OFSTED 2022). Our A Level progress score puts us in the top 25% of all schools and colleges nationally with many subjects in the top 10%.

We expect our staff to be positive role models for young people and we celebrate our diverse community, therefore we encourage applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, beliefs or disability. Newcastle Sixth Form College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff to share this commitment.
