Economics Teaching Opportunity - Manchester Grammar School

Many thanks to Helen Jones for letting us know about an opportunity to work, from September 2011, in the Economics Department in one of the leading academic boys’ schools in the UK - Manchester Grammar School

Details below. Please don’t forget to mention that you saw this opportunity on the tutor2u Economics blog.

TEACHER OF ECONOMICS (maternity cover)

We are looking for a talented, energetic and committed teacher to play a full part in the life of a department of four. Economics is taught at A-level and as part of the IB, and consideration is being given to the introduction of IGCSE Economics. Applications for full-time or part-time work will be considered. Whilst this is a maternity cover appointment there may be the possibility, as the subject and department grow, of a longer term role beyond this. The Manchester Grammar School pays well above main scale rates. The salary for this post will be discussed at interview.

How to apply
Further details about the school and the post are available on our website (www.mgs.org) or by contacting Cath Berry (c.berry@mgs.org or telephone 0161 224 7201 ext. 204). Candidates of any age and any level of experience are invited to apply. (MGS makes arrangements for NQTs to obtain QTS.) Applicants should complete an application form: this can be downloaded from here. The closing date is Monday 7 February and we expect to hold interviews in early March.

The Manchester Grammar School is an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from all sections of the community. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and successful applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the CRB.
