The Opportunity

Manchester is a globally renowned economic powerhouse—the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and a modern metropolis famed for its booming digital tech hubs, media capital at Salford Quays, and thriving financial sector. We are seeking an analytically driven, forward-thinking Business Teacher to join a highly prestigious sixth form college. In this role, you will challenge young adults to master the mechanics of corporate strategy, market economics, financial management, and digital entrepreneurship, utilizing the city's dynamic commercial landscape to transform textbook theories into real-world corporate acumen.

The College

Operating as a specialized post-16 institution, our sixth form college offers a mature, professional environment tailored exclusively to young adults preparing for university and high-level corporate apprenticeships. We treat our students as young professionals, fostering a culture of high ambition, mutual respect, and independent study. Because our students are highly motivated and behaviour management is non-existent, our teaching faculty can dedicate 100% of their energy to high-level subject delivery, deep academic mentoring, and advanced case-study analysis.

The Department & Corporate Culture

• You will join a highly successful, expanding Business and Economics faculty that ranks among the top performing departments in the region.

• The department features modern, university-style seminar rooms equipped with digital financial tracking software, collaborative workspaces, and interactive presentation technology.

• Our curriculum explicitly bridges the gap between terminal exam success and real-world corporate practices, utilizing live case studies from Manchester’s leading tech start-ups and financial institutions.

• We maintain robust partnerships with regional enterprise boards, hosting regular guest lectures from prominent entrepreneurs and corporate executives to provide students with unparalleled industry insights.

Core Responsibilities

1. Advanced Post-16 Instruction: Delivering high-challenge Business lessons across Level 3 specifications, including A-Level Business and/or BTEC National Level 3 Business.

2. Strategic Case-Study Analysis: Training students to critically dismantle complex business models, evaluating corporate finance, human resource management, global marketing strategies, and operational logistics.

3. Analytical Written Precision: Developing students' ability to draft sophisticated, highly structured business reports, investment appraisals, and evaluative essays with absolute clarity and professional terminology.

4. Data-Informed Progression: Utilizing regular diagnostic assessments and mock examination data to pinpoint specific learning gaps, providing granular feedback to secure top-tier progress outcomes.

5. Enterprise Enrichment: Leading extra-curricular initiatives such as the Young Enterprise scheme, student investor challenges, or business incubation workshops to stretch high-attaining pupils.

The Successful Candidate We are looking for an inspiring subject specialist who possesses a deep understanding of contemporary commercial landscapes and the pedagogical skill to stretch ambitious minds. Requirements include:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), QTLS, or a recognized post-16 teaching qualification, alongside a strong honours degree in Business Studies, Business Management, Economics, or a closely related discipline.

• Track Record of Post-16 Success: Proven experience or clear capacity to deliver outstanding progress outcomes for students sitting terminal Level 3 examinations.

• Professional Presence: The ability to command a mature classroom through exceptional subject expertise, generating high-level business debates that challenge student preconceptions.

• Reflective Pedagogy: A dedicated professional eager to engage in collaborative curriculum design and contribute to a legacy of academic excellence.

Why Join Our Faculty?

• The opportunity to teach in an elite post-16 setting with smaller seminar cohorts, mature student relationships, and a vibrant, collegiate atmosphere.

• Exceptional professional development pathways, including specialized training in advanced vocational curriculum design and preparation for degree-level apprenticeships.

• The unmatched lifestyle benefits of living and working in Manchester—a culturally diverse, energetic city offering world-class music, arts, and sports, alongside superb public transport links via the Metrolink network.

• A supportive, highly professional community that values teacher autonomy, features centralized administrative assistance, and implements a sustainable approach to workload.
