The Role

An ambitious Secondary Academy in Swindon is seeking a professional, analytical, and exceptionally organised Business Studies & Economics Teacher to join their experienced and successful Social Sciences faculty. This is a premier opportunity to step into a department experiencing significant popularity and growth, where commercial literacy is highly valued as a core pillar of the school's advanced sixth-form pathway.

The successful candidate will provide day-to-day instructional support across Key Stages 4 and 5, splitting instructional focus between microeconomic models, market failure parameters, and fiscal policy tracking at A-Level, alongside enterprise structures, financial forecasting, and marketing frameworks at GCSE. Key responsibilities include maintaining precise student tracking logs, constructing multi-tier assessment frameworks, managing internal departmental communications, and actively mentoring student cohorts entering national Young Enterprise models and investment banking simulations.

You will support seamless communication with parents, regional business mentors, and external examination boards, ensuring all coursework files, exam entries, and personal student performance metrics are handled securely and professionally. Exceptional time-management skills are necessary, as this role requires managing distinct specification plans across two highly popular subject areas within a busy secondary academy environment.

The academy welcomes applications from proactive, reliable professionals who are comfortable integrating interactive digital data platforms, statistical software parameters, and commercial case studies into their regular teaching practice. Strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to fostering critical analysis among young people are essential to success in this position.
