Teacher of Business - Maternity Cover

We seek to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic graduate teacher of Business from September/October 2020 to join a highly successful department in a selective school that has been rated by Ofsted as outstanding for over a decade. This is an opportunity to work in a friendly environment which encourages professional development. The post is a full or part time maternity cover to Easter 2021.  We welcome applications from both experienced teachers and NQTs. 

This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to work with well-motivated and intelligent young people. The department has an enviable record of success in public examinations and students who are dedicated to, and passionate about, this subject. 

Business is an extremely popular subject choice at both Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5.  The department runs a variety of very successful extra-curricular activities such as Young Enterprise as well as the very popular annual trip to New York or China (in non-Coronavirus times).

Bexley Grammar School is an oversubscribed, high-achieving, coeducational selective school, which boasts Specialisms in Maths, Science and Languages. It is known in the local area for its particularly positive relationships between staff and students. At KS5, we teach Business as part of the IB (International Baccalaureate); candidates with ability/experience in teaching A level Business will find themselves at home in the IB classroom.  With a full complement of subject specialist teachers, a rich curriculum and a wealth of extra-curricular activities, we provide an exciting and enriching educational experience for all and many opportunities for career progression in both the academic and pastoral life of the school.

For more information about our school and a sense of its ethos, please explore our website where you will also find an application form under ‘Vacancies’. (www.bexleygs.co.uk).

Closing date for applications is noon on Tuesday 14th July with a view to interview later that week. 

Bexley Grammar School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.   

This post is considered to be a customer-facing position; as such it falls within scope of the Code of Practice on English language requirement for public sector workers.  The school therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the person specification. These will be applied during the recruitment/selection and probationary stages.
