Teacher of Economics

This is an excellent opportunity to join a friendly, dynamic outstanding Catholic school where all can thrive. We value our staff and want to develop them to the full in a supportive environment. We are looking for a candidate who has a deep passion for Economics, is forward-thinking, innovative, and has excellent subject knowledge; a dedicated person who will be able to lead our Sixth Form students to successful A-Levels results. This post offers flexibility and the possibility to adjust the timetable. It is a post perfect for people with Economics experience. As a department, Business and Economics offer a range of pathways to suit all students, and as such are one of the most popular option subjects at both KS4 and KS5, with Economics A Level being one of our largest A Level subjects. The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching Economics and also some Business Studies, will have an in depth understanding of successful economics pedagogy and will have achieved highly successful outcomes in their subject area. They will be enthusiastic about developing a knowledge rich curriculum that enables all students to become effective learners. We currently offer A Level Economics and GCSE Business. We hope to introduce GCSE Economics in the future. Student outcomes are continuously improving, and many of our students go on to study Economics or Finance-related degrees at some of the top universities in the UK. St Ignatius College is:

• A highly respected, oversubscribed Jesuit Community with a rich history, committed to the academic, spiritual, and personal development of each individual

• A school where students are courteous, respectful and keen to learn and succeed
• Teacher testimonial: "I feel that I have really grown professionally at St Ignatius College. Teachers are encouraged to take risks with their practice and the CPD is second to none. It is an incredibly supportive environment."
The successful candidate will:
• Be able to teach Economics
• Be an excellent, creative and passionate teacher with the energy to inspire, motivate and challenge students
• Have excellent interpersonal skills and be a real team player
