A highly committed, enthusiastic Business Education teacher is required to join a thriving department in our Senior School.

• To be involved in developing teaching materials, planning courses and identifying departmental priorities
• To maintain appropriate records of pupil performance and assessment
• To contribute to curricular developments
• To share responsibility with all colleagues for the maintenance of good discipline, behaviour and conduct among pupils
• To show commitment and enthusiasm in working as part of the departmental team.

Salary will be based on SNCT scales together with a Robert Gordon’s Allowance, currently  6%. Candidates will be expected to assist with Extra-Curricular Activities and/or Games, and to play a full part in the wider life of the school.
