Peter Symonds is a vibrant sixth form college in Winchester which has been rated by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’ in every respect. We have a large team of committed and talented staff who are at the heart of the success of the College.
The Economics and Business departments have separate Heads of Subject, but work closely together. We are looking for people to join one team or both, working full or part time.
The Economics team consists of seven teachers delivering the Edexcel Economics course at A level. Many of the over 500 students are very able and the department achieves very good results.
Business comprises Edexcel A level Business, BTEC Business and Level 2 Cambridge Technical, with over 700 students across the three courses. Expectations are high and this is reflected in student achievement.
Successful applicants will have a degree in Business, Economics or a closely allied subject, with an enthusiasm for their subject and the ability to share that with our students. We welcome applications from both newly qualified and experienced teachers. Please indicate in your application whether you are interested in full or part time work, when you would be available to start and if you are able to teach Business (A level, BTEC or Level 2), Economics or both.
Our staff are at the heart of what we do at the College, we are proudly anti-racist and our motto is ‘Counting in ones’ which applies to staff as well as the students. We offer special leave for various special occasions, support from the Hub, staff-run groups, staff choir, Monday night football, regular staff forums, an inclusive, supportive and kind culture, no expectations to answer emails out of hours (with an automated message to alert the sender), lunch provided at all lunchtime meetings, ‘5 days of Christmas’ treats, end of term meals and activities and bike and computer loans to name but a few of our initiatives.
