Teacher of Business and Economics

Starting date: January or April 2025

Monkton is seeking to appoint a full time Teacher of Business and Economics, from January or April 2025. As the successful candidate, you are dynamic and ambitious and are seeking to develop in a school which grows fruitful people through innovation and a commitment to professional growth, and which prioritises relationships over systems. For the right candidate there is also the opportunity of the Head of Department role which would be paid as an allowance on top of your teaching salary.

You share our vision for fostering a love of lifelong learning, both for students and teachers. You are passionate about delivering an excellent holistic education and have a commitment to individuals, seeing this as the basis for students to flourish. You see education as lighting fires rather than filling pails as well as the vital part that a proactive pastoral approach plays in a student’s development.

In addition to teaching an academic timetable, all full-time staff and many part-time staff at Monkton are involved with the wider life of a busy boarding-ethos school. Co-curricular activities go far beyond those clubs and societies which are closely connected with a teacher’s academic subject and all staff have a rich pastoral role with both day and boarding pupils. As such, a full-time teacher will coach or support two terms of sport, or equivalent - eg CCF, drama, community service - have a tutor group, supervise a 2-hour evening work period once a week in a boarding house, and run a co-curricular activity. Applicants should make clear in their application how they would see themselves contributing to school life in these wider ways; applications which focus solely on classroom practice are likely to be less successful.

The salary offered is in accordance with the Monkton Combe Teaching Staff Salary Scale
