Full Time
Permanent
Required from August 2025
We are excited to offer the opportunity for an inspirational and highly motivated Teacher of Business Studies to join our fantastic team from August 2025.
Business is a popular subject at The Lancaster Academy - we welcome teachers who will be inspiring and knowledgeable within their subject. The ideal candidate will be passionate about making a real difference to the lives of our students to ensure they feel valued and that they can succeed.
We want the best and offer an environment where ambitious and innovative teachers thrive and progress. You will work with committed colleagues passionate about improving outcomes for all students and creating a school that is aspirational and ambitious, inclusive and welcoming for all.
