An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Teacher of Economics to join a highly successful department at this major London day school.
The current vacancy is a permanent full-time post. It offers an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Economist to develop, or perhaps to begin, their career in a congenial, lively, and innovative setting as part of a highly successful department. They will be a strong graduate, with a deep passion for Economics, and the ability to convey this effectively to A level pupils.
We therefore expect to appoint a teacher who combines a strong intellectual interest in Economics with an imaginative and flexible approach to classroom teaching, wise and sensitive in their planning of lessons, rigorous and friendly in their delivery. The successful candidate will be personally committed to developing a genuine and lasting enthusiasm for Economics among pupils, as well as in preparing them for exam success.
Offering, as it does, the chance to work within a vibrant department in a high-achieving and distinctive school, this post should be equally attractive to a serving teacher seeking wider experience or to an ECT hoping for the best professional start to their career (UCS offers full statutory induction). We welcome applications from teachers in the maintained sector and the independent sector. We also warmly welcome applications from good Economics graduates not currently working in education and who are considering a career change.
A willingness to contribute to the co-curricular life of the school will be an additional and important recommendation. We expect all of our teachers to be Form Tutors.
In addition to completing the accompanying form, applicants should provide a full Curriculum Vitae and a supporting letter. The closing date for applications is Thursday 6 March, 12 pm. However, please note that we reserve the right to interview and appoint at any stage during this process; early applications are therefore very welcome.
University College School is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful applicant will be required to undertake an Enhanced check for Regulated Activity from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) before a formal offer of employment is made. This is a requirement as the position is within a school working with children aged under 18. UCS will also undertake its own recruitment checks through contact with previous employers, referees, and others, to confirm applicants’ identities and their professional records.
