We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic Part-Time Teacher of Business and/or Economics. This will be on a one-year contract initially, with the potential for extension.
Due to growth in demand in Business, Shiplake College is looking to recruit someone to teach on one or two days on a reduced timetable.
This is a superb opportunity for a suitably qualified practitioner to join an innovative and successful department.
The role would suit an energetic teacher committed to the highest standards of teaching and learning; a teacher who can inspire and challenge all our pupils.
We will consider all levels of teaching experience, looking for candidates with the ability to teach GCSE Business (Key Stage 4) and A-level and BTEC Business, and/or A-level Economics (Key Stage 5).
Applications are welcomed from teachers who will strive for excellence in all aspects of their practice, from both experienced practitioners and early career teachers.
Applicants should also be able to instil a passion for their subject and create a rigorous environment for our pupils’ learning to thrive.
A contribution to the wider life of the School is expected from all staff at Shiplake College. As such you can expect this to include being a tutor attached to a house, taking on the responsibility of duties and contributing to the busy co-curricular programme.
Shiplake College is an independent boarding and day school for just around 580 pupils aged 11 to 18. There has been a co-educational Sixth Form since 1998 and since September 2023 girls have been welcomed into Year 7 as the College became fully co-educational. Situated in 63 acres of beautiful countryside near Henley-on-Thames, we offer an outstanding education based on small class sizes, excellent facilities and dedicated teaching staff.
We offer a competitive salary, excellent free lunches and a contributory pension scheme together with access to our gym and sporting facilities and an excellent working environment.
Early applications are welcomed, as the College reserves the right to appoint at any stage during the application process.
