Teacher of Economics
Teacher of Economics
Permanent; Full time
Commencing: September 2026
Closing date: 29 January 2026 at 12 noon
An opportunity has arisen for a talented teacher to join a successful Economics Department at Haileybury. We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher to inspire and challenge our Sixth Form pupils.
This role is suitable for either an Early Career Teacher (ECT) seeking a supportive and dynamic environment for their first position or an experienced educator looking for a new challenge in an academically stimulating setting.
The Economics Department is an active and busy department where staff have very high expectations of the pupils, and of themselves. The teachers form an experienced and cohesive team; there is a culture of learning from each other, sharing resources and working collaboratively for the benefit of the pupils.
The Department offers both A level and IB Diploma courses to Sixth Form pupils. The subject is one of the most popular choices in the Sixth Form with four IB classes and four A level classes in each year of the Sixth Form as things stand. This means that creative approaches to teaching and learning can be adopted and there is ample opportunity to stretch and challenge the very best economists.
Beyond the classroom, the Department offers a number of additional activities, including the Economics Society, the Enterprise Society, the Investment Club (Wharton Investment Challenge) and the International Economics Olympiad. Economics pupils are encouraged to enter a wide range of academic challenges throughout the year and to read beyond the subject.
The successful applicant will be educated to a degree level within a relevant subject and will have experience of teaching A level; previous experience of teaching the IB Diploma programme is desirable but not essential. They will have an interest in fostering lifelong learning in our pupils and the ability to stretch pupils beyond the curriculum.
Please see the candidate brief for more information.
