What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint an outstanding Business teacher who has ambitious aspirations for students and who wishes to be part of a talented, supportive, collaborative team. The successful candidate will share our commitment towards constantly improving our provision and raising achievement.
We want our students to enjoy Economics & Business, to understand its significance to them as qualifications and as a vehicle for engaging with the world now and in the future, in a richer and more informed manner. We seek to develop lively, enquiring minds with an ability to question, analyse, discuss and make decisions between varied business options/opportunities rationally and effectively.
The position of Teacher of Business at Ralph Thoresby School offers an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic, passionate and diligent teacher to work within a supportive, dedicated and highly professional team. The individual selected will be given the professional autonomy to deliver in a style that suits them, and the pupils being taught. Experience of teaching Btec Business and Enterprise at L2 & 3 is highly desirable. GCSE Business Studies experience would also be desirable. A level Economics experience would be beneficial but not essential.
What the school offers its staff
The school has repeatedly been judged good by Ofsted and we have a strong record of academic achievement, whilst ensuring that all students are well supported. Students make good progress here because, ‘the working atmosphere in classrooms is positive’ and ‘pupils take pride in their work’ (Ofsted).
The School is a mixed community school with over 1,000 students on role. Approximately 30% of our students come from ethnic minority backgrounds and we have a resource provision for physically impaired students which really adds to the positive and harmonious atmosphere around school. Our superb, modern school building further enhances the atmosphere and supports students’ learning. ‘This is a school where staff and pupils celebrate diversity and promote values of tolerance, mutual respect and care for others’ (Ofsted).
We have an excellent 6th form partnership arrangement with Lawnswood School (another good local school) and together we offer post-16 provision to rival the best in the city – ‘The quality of provision for post-16 students remains good. Students make consistently good progress over time’ (Ofsted). We are a Trust school in partnership with several of our local partner Primary schools. We have a strong relationship with the Local Authority and are also part of the highly regarded Red Kite Alliance teaching school hub, ‘Partnership working is strong’ (Ofsted).
Our school motto is ‘ambition and achievement for all’. We firmly believe in giving all students the opportunity to achieve their very best regardless of the circumstances in which they find themselves. We also have a strong emphasis on staff well-being with a professional staff coach, a staff well-being committee and a range of well attended social, sporting and fun activities. Our staff are proud to be at RTS and the team spirit is second to none.
