Teacher of Economics (January or April 2025)

Concord College is England’s premier international co-educational boarding school set in the heart of the Shropshire countryside, with around 580 students aged 13-19. Historic buildings sit alongside our state-of-the-art facilities which include areas providing extra-curricular activities, sport and recreation. With over 40 nationalities represented amongst our students, we enjoy a wonderfully diverse environment with a strong community feel and rigour, creativity and kindness at our core. Concord is the 2023 Independent School of the Year for International Student Experience.

Academic achievement at Concord College is exceptional. During 2023-24, students achieved 89% 7-9 (A*/A) at GCSE and 73.8% A*/A at A level. We are also delighted that over 75 students have been offered places at Oxford and Cambridge and over 150 students offered places at Imperial College London in the last five years.  

We wish to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic full-time Teacher of Economics from January or April 2025.

The successful candidate will have the ability to teach Economics to both GCSE and A level students and help support those applying for Economics and related courses at university. A willingness to contribute to the broader life of the College is expected. This post would suit either teachers with the knowledge and experience to teach across KS4/5 or Early Career Teachers (ECT) who are looking for their first teaching position. Applications from candidates with a background in Finance or relevant industry experience will also be considered.

We offer a generous remuneration package which includes a salary significantly above Main Scale, duty payments, complimentary lunch, participation in the Aviva Pension Trust for Independent Schools and private health insurance. A separate payment may also be made if the applicant takes on a personal tutor role.

The closing date for applications is midday on Monday 21 October 2024.
