Teacher of Business and Economics

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a thriving, co-educational independent day school on the outskirts of Bristol.  We are looking for a dynamic and highly capable Teacher of Business to join a popular and successful department and contribute to the wider life of this busy holistic school community. This post is available from the Summer Term 2022.

We are proud of our high academic standards and our innovative approach to the development of teaching and learning across the school and we value the range of opportunities we provide for our pupils outside the classroom. In our recent ISI report the school was judged excellent in all areas; raw examination results are consistently good, value-add scores are high and we have waiting lists in most year groups.

The successful applicant will be an outstanding classroom practitioner and a great communicator. We welcome applications from teachers of Business who are able to teach any or all of the following qualifications: A level Business (AQA), A level Economics (Edexcel) and Cambridge Technical Level 3 Extended Certificate in Business. Business is a popular choice in 6th form and the department has gained a reputation for forward and engaging thinking as well as providing opportunities to extend pupil learning through extra-curricular activities. The department has performed highly compared to similar schools and nationally, and we are looking to appoint someone who can help to further develop this progress.

This position would suit either an NQT or a more experienced teacher seeking an opportunity for professional development. 

This role is offered at 0.54 FTE and would therefore suit someone who is looking for part-time employment.

You will receive a competitive salary and other benefits include free lunches during term time, free on-site parking and use of the school’s gym facilities. The school also offers a discount on school fees for staff at the school.

Colston’s Upper School occupies a glorious thirty-acre campus and has all of its facilities on-site. We are easily accessible from the motorway network and with approximately 800 students aged from 3 to 18.
