What can a business studies teacher expect in Cambridge?

Cambridge is one of the UK's great start-up cities. Spin-outs from the university, the science parks and companies such as Arm and AstraZeneca give business students real local case studies in enterprise, finance and growth.

Business is taught at GCSE in many community and village colleges, and at A level and vocational level in the sixth forms and Cambridge Regional College. Departments value teachers who can link theory to real companies and current events.

Teachers who can also teach economics, or who bring industry experience in finance, marketing or management, are especially sought after.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and teach Business lessons across KS4 and KS5, and KS3 enterprise where relevant
  • Teach GCSE, A level and vocational business courses
  • Support coursework, assignments and exam preparation
  • Use real business case studies, including local Cambridge employers
  • Organise or support enterprise activities, competitions and visiting speakers
  • Assess, mark and give feedback that helps students make progress
  • Support careers education and links with local employers

Who we're looking for

  • Qualified teachers (QTS or QTLS) with a specialism in business, economics or a related subject
  • Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for their first post or induction placement
  • Experienced teachers returning to the profession or looking for flexible supply work
  • Overseas-trained teachers with the right to work in the UK
  • Career changers from business backgrounds who hold QTS

Frequently asked questions

Do I need business experience to teach business studies?
It helps, but QTS and strong subject knowledge matter most. Many teachers bring industry experience too.

Will I teach vocational courses?
Sometimes. Many schools and colleges run BTEC or Cambridge Technical business alongside GCSE and A level.

How quickly can I start?
Once your registration and safeguarding checks are complete, many teachers start within days.
