Economics Teacher – Hillingdon – September 2026
A forward-thinking, high-achieving secondary school with sixth form in Hillingdon is seeking a knowledgeable and passionate Economics Teacher to join their thriving Social Sciences faculty from September 2026. This is a contractual Economics Teacher role based on a term-time basis.
About the School
This Hillingdon secondary school and sixth form deliver an Economics curriculum that is both academically rigorous and genuinely relevant, with strong GCSE and A-Level outcomes and a sixth form cohort that regularly progresses to Economics, Finance, and Politics degrees at competitive universities. Teaching is evidence-based and intellectually demanding, with current affairs, real-world case studies, and economic theory woven deliberately into every scheme of work. Behaviour is managed through consistent whole-school systems, and the school's diverse community brings authentic economic context and lived experience into every Economics Teacher's classroom.
What the School Offers
- A thriving sixth form with strong A-Level Economics numbers and excellent university progression
- Structured CPD with clear pathways into middle and senior leadership
- Collaborative faculty planning with a purposeful, manageable approach to assessment
- Employer and university partnerships that enrich the curriculum and broaden pupil ambition
- A supportive SLT that backs its teachers and genuinely values subject expertise
The Role
As an Economics Teacher, you will deliver engaging, knowledge-rich lessons across KS4 and KS5, using current economic events and real-world data to bring theory to life. You will track and drive pupil progress through assessment, contribute to A-Level delivery and university preparation, and build strong, productive relationships with students, families, and colleagues throughout the year.
What the School is Looking For
This Economics Teacher position will suit candidates who:
- Hold British QTS or are completing a UK-accredited teacher training programme
- Graduated with a 2:1 or above in Economics or a closely related discipline from a reputable UK university, ideally Russell Group
- Have meaningful classroom experience within a UK secondary school through placements or a substantive post
- Show clear evidence of structured lesson delivery and strong pupil outcomes at KS4 and above
- Are legally entitled to work in the UK - visa sponsorship is not available
ECT applicants are welcomed provided formal UK teacher training has been completed.
