• Applications invited from experienced teachers and suitably qualified ECTs.

Our client is looking to appoint a knowledgeable and enthusiastic Economics Teacher to join a secondary school in Cambridge. This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who enjoys bringing economic theory to life and helping students understand how economic decisions influence individuals, businesses, governments and society as a whole.

The successful candidate will deliver engaging and well-structured Economics lessons, supporting students in developing the analytical skills, subject knowledge and critical thinking required for academic success. The role would suit someone who can explain complex economic concepts clearly, encourage students to evaluate competing viewpoints and connect classroom learning with current economic developments and real-world examples.

The school is seeking a teacher who can establish a positive learning environment, maintain high expectations and use assessment effectively to support progress. The successful applicant will be expected to plan lessons that encourage students to ask questions, interpret economic data, construct logical arguments and apply theoretical knowledge to unfamiliar situations.

This opportunity would be particularly attractive to an Economics Teacher who enjoys developing students' confidence in discussion, written evaluation and data interpretation. Both experienced practitioners and ECTs are encouraged to apply, provided they hold the appropriate teaching qualifications and have the necessary subject expertise.

School Information:

Located in Cambridge, the school is committed to delivering a broad and ambitious education that prepares students for further study, employment and adult life. The school places importance on developing independent learners who can think critically, communicate effectively and apply their knowledge beyond the classroom.

The successful candidate will join a department that aims to develop students' understanding of economic systems, markets, government policy and the factors influencing economic growth and living standards. Through relevant examples and structured academic discussion, students are encouraged to consider how economic decisions affect different groups within society.

The school recognises that Economics requires students to combine theoretical knowledge with the ability to interpret evidence and construct balanced arguments. The successful teacher will therefore be expected to use a range of teaching approaches, including case studies, data analysis, discussion and examination-style practice.

There will be opportunities to collaborate with colleagues on curriculum planning, share teaching resources and identify strategies to address misconceptions. The school values reflective practitioners who are committed to improving their teaching and supporting students to achieve their academic potential.

The Role and Responsibilities:

• Teach Economics at the relevant secondary and post-16 levels offered by the school, in accordance with the successful candidate's timetable and subject expertise.

• Plan and deliver structured lessons that develop students' understanding of economic principles and terminology.

• Cover relevant topics such as supply and demand, market structures, inflation, unemployment, economic growth, taxation and government policy, where appropriate to the curriculum.

• Use current economic examples to demonstrate the relevance of classroom learning to businesses, households and the wider economy.

• Develop students' ability to interpret graphs, analyse numerical information and evaluate economic arguments.

• Prepare students for assessments and examinations through structured practice, revision activities and constructive feedback.

• Monitor attainment and progress, identifying students who may benefit from additional explanation or targeted intervention.

• Differentiate teaching to support students with varying levels of confidence, prior knowledge and academic ability.

• Maintain high expectations for behaviour, participation and independent study.

• Work collaboratively with colleagues to develop curriculum materials and share effective teaching practice.

• Encourage students to develop independent research, critical thinking and evidence-based decision-making skills.

Experience and Qualifications:

• A qualified Economics Teacher with appropriate subject knowledge for the classes being taught.

• QTS, a PGCE or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.

• Strong knowledge of Economics and the ability to explain complex concepts in an accessible manner.

• Experience planning lessons that develop analytical writing, evaluation and data interpretation.

• Confidence in preparing students for formal assessments and examinations.

• Effective classroom management and a commitment to inclusive teaching.

• Strong communication, organisational and interpersonal skills.

• A commitment to safeguarding and the academic development of all students.

• The legal right to work in the UK.
