• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or PGCE with a specialism in Economics, Business, or a related subject.
• A strong academic background and deep understanding of Economics, with an ability to communicate complex ideas in an engaging way.
• A passion for teaching and a commitment to inspiring student achievement.
• Experience working with secondary-aged students, particularly at KS4 and KS5.
• A reflective, collaborative, and proactive teaching style.
• Enhanced DBS on the update service—or willingness to apply through Smile Education.
