Teacher of Economics

Tes is supporting the appointment of a Teacher of Economics to join a School based in Wandsworth.

Applications are welcome from graduates/ECTs or experienced Economics teachers to become a key member of their Business and Economics department.

The success of their Business and Economics department is down to the combination of specialist teachers with a deep knowledge and love of their subject and motivated pupils with high aspirations.

As Teacher of Economics, you will play a key role challenging, engaging and inspiring their pupils to achieve their full potential in Economics.

As well as delivering excellent classroom teaching, all staff undertake a pastoral role (as a form tutor, or as a co-tutor if an ECT) and get involved in the wider life of the school through co-curricular activities and outreach programmes.

The role would suit a teacher who can deliver enthusiastic and engaging teaching, inspiring their pupils to fulfil their potential in Economics. The ability to also teach Business would be regarded as an advantage.

They welcome applications from ECTs and would also be prepared to provide teacher training for the right candidate who would like to make the move into teaching, subject to a satisfactory probationary period with them.

Working at the school

There is a genuine buzz at the school. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school.

Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining the school should expect to do so. There’s a strong sense of community and source of friendship. From the briefing to all staff, to the half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, there’s ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims.

They aim to look after their staff too. They have an appraisal scheme with a focus on the employee’s professional development; they sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; they offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and they're committed to supporting staff wellbeing. On a more practical level, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.

Do note that interviews may be held at any stage after applications are received, so candidates are advised to apply as soon as possible.

All applicants need to have the Right to Work in the UK to be considered for the role.
