What can a business studies teacher expect in Leicester?

Leicester has a long history of making and trading, from its hosiery and textile factories to the family businesses of the Golden Mile on Belgrave Road. Today, large employers such as Next and Walkers, and thousands of small firms, give business students plenty of local examples.

Business is a popular GCSE in Leicester's secondary schools, and Wyggeston and Queen Elizabeth I College, Gateway College, Leicester College and the 11–18 schools run A level and vocational business courses. Many students plan to study business at De Montfort University or the University of Leicester.

Business is taught at GCSE, A level and vocational level, so teachers who are confident with BTEC or Cambridge Technical courses as well as exam specifications are especially sought after. Teachers who can also teach economics often get fuller timetables.

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
