Teacher of Business, Saffron Walden

From September, 2018 we require a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher to join our highly successful Vocational & Computing Area. The VAC Department offers a wide range of Business courses at KS4 and KS5: GCSE Business; A Level Business Studies; A Level Economics; Cambridge Technical Level 3 Business. We also run a one year post-16 Level 2 Cambridge Technical course. Business has been growing in popularity at KS4, with typically three GCSE groups in Years 9 to 11. 

Ideally, the successful candidate will be able to teach across a number of these programmes. Applications are invited from enthusiastic and energetic teachers who understand the imperative for the highest standards. Both experienced and newly qualified teachers are welcome to apply. Applications from candidates seeking a part time post will also be considered.
