Job overview

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic Teacher of Business to join our team on maternity cover till Easter 2024 and potential of extension.

The successful candidate will:

  • be able to develop, plan and deliver high quality and engaging learning experiences to all students.
  • be a newly qualified or experienced teacher who is enthusiastic and shares the values of the school.
  • be flexible in their thinking and willing to trial new ideas. 
  • Is a collaborator who puts the success of all learners at the heart of all that they do.
  • be passionate about ensuring every student meets their potential. 
  • Have excellent subject knowledge and will bring a variety of enriching experiences to our community.

We are committed to providing first-rate training and development to all our staff, as well as excellent career advancement opportunities. We believe exceptional teachers create exceptional results; they transform lives and transform futures. They support every student to achieve their full potential and become a confident, resilient, and compassionate individual who can make a positive contribution to society. We believe that exceptional teachers like you should be supported too, with all the opportunities you need to develop and achieve your goals.

The successful candidate will play a key role and support the Head of Department in implementing the Department’s Improvement plans, while exhibiting Quality First Teaching and adhering to the school’s stated vision and values. Our Progress 8 score of +0.15 from last year indicates students are making well above the expected level of progress.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate an ability to inspire a love of learning and teach creatively. You will be supported by outstanding colleagues who know and understand the school and will ensure that the journey to Outstanding is a collaborative one.

The department is lively - teachers are encouraged to discuss techniques and share resources for both the improvement of themselves and students. We are professional and hard-working but always work with good humour. Many of our student’s progress onto courses at universities with particularly strong Business departments.

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, innovative, and enthusiastic Teacher of Business to join our fantastic existing team to assist with the development of the department. The ideal candidate will be an outstanding teaching practitioner, who has enthusiasm for their subject, is able to motivate and inspire students, and will further support the high achievements of the department. 

The Westgate School is heavily oversubscribed and our Sixth Form continues to expand due to the strong reputation our school has within Berkshire and the local community. We believe that #betterneverstops and are continuing to make our school not only an ‘Outstanding’ place to learn, but an amazing place to work. 

As part of our commitment to driving positive change, we are overstaffing in each department and giving our teaching staff additional PPA to ensure that they have more time to invest in our students’ learning, are afforded the time and space to continue their professional development and maintain a healthy work/life balance. Consequently, we are looking for talented individuals to enhance the quality of education at our school. 

For further information please refer to the attached application information and we would also strongly encourage visits to the school, to see why The Westgate School is an outstanding school. Please email Mrs Venturini on sv@westgate.slough.sch.uk to arrange a visit.

We look forward to receiving your application for our vacancy.

We reserve the right to interview prior to the closing date if suitable applications are received. You will only be contacted if you are successful in our shortlisting process.
