Job Description
New subject. Real-world skills. A chance to shape futures.
We're hiring a qualified Business Studies Teacher (PGCE/QTS/QTLS) for a newly created role at HMYOI Feltham-brought in due to demand from the young learners themselves.
You'll design and teach engaging lessons around enterprise, employability, and financial literacy to 15-18-year-olds. Many want to understand business basics, manage money, or even launch a future venture. You'll help them build skills, confidence, and a plan.
You'll join a supportive education team where progress matters more than perfection, and relationships are everything.
The role:
- Up to 23 teaching hours/week: 3.5 hrs AM + 2 hrs PM (Mon-Thurs), 3 hrs on Fridays
- Early Friday finish - 1pm
- PPA and admin time included
- Teach 5 groups across the week, with extra time for 1:1 support/outreach
Why it's different: This is your chance to build a subject from scratch, with the freedom to tailor content. You'll work with learners who haven't had the best experience in school but are ready to engage-if the approach is right.
The setting is secure but safe and well-structured. You'll have support from an on-site Ops Manager, officers nearby, and staff alarm systems. If anything escalates, help is fast.
You'll need to be resilient, patient, and relatable-able to build rapport, redirect off-topic chatter, and create meaningful lessons.
What you'll need:
- A Level 5+ teaching qualification (PGCE, QTS, QTLS)
- Confidence to design your own content
- Background or interest in enterprise/employability
- Energy, empathy, and a belief in second chances
What's on offer:
- 40 days holiday (35 fixed + 5 flexible)
- Healthcare cash plan
- Matched pension (4-6%) & life assurance (3x salary)
- Organisational sick pay
- Work that makes a genuine difference
